Did you see my response to your previous message. It's a solution to your specific requirement of coloring a background cell.
As far as other types of styling, that's a bit tougher. It's all in the hand-off between DocBook and XSL-FO. You need to sort out what the XSL needs to find in the DocBook to get the appropriate XSL-FO output. Then you need to get AsciiDoc to put that into the DocBook it generates. I do agree that it would be nice if AsciiDoc supported a generic way of passing a role to a table cell. Currently it can do things like halign, valign, etc, but it doesn't have an "open" attribute assignment. You're probably going to need to pass some addition processing instructions through to the XSL template and then process them there. Customizing the XSL template is complex and tests your patience, but it is *extremely* powerful once you sort it out (though you will still want to gouge your eyes out). -Dan On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 2:27 PM, Mark Volkmann <[email protected]>wrote: > I see that I can do this to apply formatting to a run of text. > 1) surround the text with # delimiters (or others) > 2) precede the first # with [role-name] > 3) define a CSS class for role-name > 4) refer to the CSS file in the a2x command with --stylesheet some-name.css > > However, I haven't found a way to format a table cell. > I can use [role-name] to assign a role to the text in a table cell, but > not to the cell itself (the td tag in the case of HTML output). > I need this so I can set the background color of a cell so the background > color completely fills the cell. > Is there a way to do this? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "asciidoc" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc?hl=en. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- Dan Allen Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action Registered Linux User #231597 http://google.com/profiles/dan.j.allen http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
