Hi,

On Edward Tufte's website, there is a discussion on zebra coloring in
tables[1]. One of the suggestion is to add a horizontal rule after every
third line or shade three lines with one background color and the
remaining three with another background color.

Is there an easy way to do this with natural TABLEs? I can do something
like:

\setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]
\setupTABLE[row][7,8,9][background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]

but it requires knowing the number of lines in advance.

- it may be achieved by Lua, when the table has been defined as a Lua variable:

Thanks. This is useful when reading data from a file.
