RE: [docbook-apps] Striped tables in Html Help

Bob, 

Thank you, that would seem to be exactly it !

 

In this instance Google wasn't my friend .....

(probably didn't find the right search terms)

 

 

Appreciatively,

Richard.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Striped tables in Html Help

 

I'd like to apply a "striped" effect to some tables that I'm creating in some Html-Help (ie chm) that I'm generating from DocBook. 

 

Has anyone already done this ?

Is there a setting already available or will I need to customize something ?   In which case what ?

(I'd also like to do it in a Revision History table)

 

Presumably it's a matter of having two styles and getting the stylesheet to apply them to alternate entries (tr's).  So I need also to be able to count the number of preceeding entries, though that seems like it'll just be a count(preceeding-sibling::*).

 

Apparently there's a tr:nth-child control in CSS3 but as I'm doing chm that's effectively IE and reported as not available there.

 

 

Regards,

Richard.
