Summary: FO: add shading/color support for tables

Initial Comment:
I have quite a few legacy HTML documents that are being
converted to Simplified DocBook. Many of these contain
complex tables, with multi-colored cells. The colors
actually help quite a bit with readability, so it is
important to preserve them if possible.

Is there anything that supports shading or colors in
SDocBook/CALS tables? Are colors/shades supported in
both the HTML and FO stylesheets?

---
You can specify colours for individual table cells in
HTML/HTML Help output using the entry-bgcolor
processing instruction.  Just put this in the
appropriate table <entry>:
 
<?dbhtml entry-bgcolor="[your chosen colour code]"?>

A quick look at the fo/table.xsl stylesheet module
shows 'dbfo' processing instructions for the following:

  table-width
  orientation (cell or row orientation)
  rotated-width

but nothing about cell background color.  But XSL-FO
has properties for background color, so it could
be done.

Thanks to Bob and Lisa from the apps alias for the
above info...
