How to make color background in LfL Docbook XML ?
This would be great for this: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
Use a processing instruction (PI) with the target dbhtml, for example:
<?dbhtml bgcolor="RGB_COLOR_CODE"?>
Replace RGB_COLOR_CODE with a RGB value or a color name, for example "#DDAAFF" or "red". Depending where you place the PI you can set the background color for a cell only or for a row:
<table> <title>...</title> <tgroup cols="2"> <tbody> <row> <entry><?dbhtml bgcolor="#96a7ca"?>Cell with background</entry> <entry>Cell with standard background</entry> </row> <row><?dbhtml bgcolor="#EEEEEE" ?> <entry>Cell 1/entry> <entry>Cell 2</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table>
Always keep legibility in mind if you insert colors. The above PI works for HTML only. You need an additional PI for PDF:
<?dbfo bgcolor="RGB_COLOR_CODE"?>
Please be careful with colors in PDF as they are printed in grayscale normally. Some combinations of background and foreground colors lead to almost unreadable text.
Probably the safest way is to avoid it and try to add an additional column with further explanations and a legend/caption or use table footnotes.
Bye, Tom
Well, how about adding colors to HTML only, leaving PDF normal ? -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
