Subject: Setting options for every n-th row in natural TABLEs
Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2012 11:59:55 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.02.1209021106370.28173@ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> (raw)

Hi,

On Edward Tufte's website, there is a discussion on zebra coloring in 
tables[1]. One of the suggestion is to add a horizontal rule after every 
third line or shade three lines with one background color and the 
remaining three with another background color.

Is there an easy way to do this with natural TABLEs? I can do something 
like:

\setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]
\setupTABLE[row][7,8,9][background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]

but it requires knowing the number of lines in advance.

Aditya
