sphinx, rinohtype: Getting striped tables

I am unable to understand how to get striped tables using stylesheets in rinohtype. For example, the below code generates a striped table when using rst2pdf

.. list-table:: Table Caption
    
    * - Header 1
      - Header 2
    * - Row 1
      - Row 2
Solution

  • The default matcher defines the table body cell background on even row and table body cell background on odd row selectors. Try assigning styles to those in a custom style sheet, like this:

    [table body cell background on even row]
fill_color = #00FF00

[table body cell background on odd row]
fill_color = #FF0000

    To find out which style properties a particular selector accepts, click the associated style in the list of selectors in the manual section linked to above. See matcher.py to see the definition for these selectors.
