deform, alternate row colors

[Bobby]

I could not find anything on alternate row colors in the deform docs.
I know chameleon uses a variable named "repeat" to achieve this
functionality, but this variable does not seem to be available in the
scope of the template. However there is available a variable named
"counter". I could use "counter" to write some modulo division to
figure out if the row is odd or even. Ideally I could just use the
chameleon variable which is already prepared. How would I make the
"repeat" variable available? OR, should I just stick to using
"counter" and some logic?

All you have to do is override "templates/sequence.pt" and pass the "repeat" variable through rndr. The exact line you'll have to edit is this one:

    <div tal:repeat="tup subfields" tal:replace="structure rndr(item_tmpl, field=tup[1], cstruct=tup[0], parent=field) "/>

Here you can pass any variable (in your case, repeat=repeat.tup) down to "templates/sequence_item.pt", which you can also override and set the alternate backgrounds styles on each "sequence row".
