Hi Hussein, I've modified my DITA PDF and xhtml publishing scripts to read an attribute (bg_color) from colspec, row, and entry elements and reflect the defined color in the output. Now I am working on the GUI for this.
In the CSS presentation layer for XMLmind, it was quite easy to write commands to set the colors on the elements, and easy to make the interface reflect the color chosen when the attribute is set at the entry or row level. Making a whole column in a table reflect a color selection made on its colspec element, however, is proving difficult. I would prefer to do this in CSS somehow rather than writing a command to actually add the bg_color attribute to every individual entry in the column, partly because this would involve having to re-apply it every time I added a new row. Are there any widgets in XMLmind that connect entry elements with their colspec elements? The xpath statement for intelligently reaching backwards from each entry element and finding the right colspec element is proving to be problematical. Regards, Jeff.
