Re: [docbook] background colour and font of the table.

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Anmol,

Regarding Problem 1, I think you need to use d:tgroup and d:row in the calculation of the rownum variable.

And #EEEEEE is gray.

Regarding Problem 2, I think you need to set the text-align property to start in the table.table.properties attribute set.

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
