alternating background table color row
Michael P. Soulier
I want to style my html and latex output such that each table header has a
particular background color, and each row alternates between two colors.
This is built-in in rst2pdf, but beyond hacking the output I'm not sure how to
do this in Sphinx.
Is this possible?
Thanks,

This simple patch to the latex writer shows how it might be done.

And this patch does it with hardcoded header, and row colors, with a custom
text color in the header.

I don't want to maintain a patched latex writer though, so is there a chance
of putting such hooks into Sphinx?

browser supports it, to get the row colouring.
<html>
<head>
<style>
table {
border: 1px solid black;
}
th {
background-color: #f4c;
}
tr:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: #4cf;
}
tr:nth-child(even) {
background-color: #4fc;
}
td {
padding: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><th>Number</th> <th>Value</th></tr>
<tr><td>Row 1</td> <td>A</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 2</td> <td>B</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 3</td> <td>C</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 4</td> <td>D</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row 5</td> <td>E</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
