Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Alternate background-color in table columns.
Hi, Peter, Bob, thank you for help. I managed to do it on table.cell.properties template. I was doing on the wrong templates (table.row.properties and table.cell.block.properties). Once again, thanks for your help, it was really useful.

But it contains a hook that lets you apply formatting properties without needing to copy and modify that big template. The hook is a call to the template named 'table.cell.properties'. That template can be customized to insert properties such as background color. This section in my book describes it in more detail: > > http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.properties > > If you copy that template to your customization layer, you can use the template param named "col", whose value will be set to 1 for the first column cells. > > If you only want this for some tables, then you can add a tabstyle attribute to the table element, such as tabstyle="firstcolumn".
