Hi Ed...
Just to confirm Rick's statement, that table support in XML documents is
very limited. If you want to do anything beyond what's provided by the
underlying table format definition, you'll need to use some type of
scripting (ExtendScript, FrameScript, FDK client plugin).

Hi Ed,
I am not sure if this is possible with stock FrameMaker but it could
be done automatically with an ExtendScript script when you open the
file. If you are interested in exploring this, please contact me
off-list. Thanks.

*Subject:* Custom Ruling and Shading of Tables via xml and EDD rules
I have XML files that include tables. Some cells include a class such as:
<td class="cheader"> Centered text with gray shading
<td class="header"> Left justified text with gray shading
<td class="cbody"> Centered text not shaded
<td class="body"> Left justified text not shaded
I want to be able to open the XML file using FM10 and have the cells
formatted.
I do not see a "Custom Ruling and Shading" EDD Rule that allows ruling
and shading to be defined for a cell based on a Context Rule such as
[class="cheader"].
_Am I missing something?_
It appears that using the table format styles are limited to an
orderly set of rulings and shadings rather than being totally custom
or XML attribute driven for specific rows or cells.
I can change the markup or take a totally different approach but I
nered the format to be driven by the XML data not manual activity in
Framemaker aftrer opening the XML file..
_Any suggestions?_
