long style of a row to put in a macro

long style of a row to put in a macro

[olivier Turlier]

Hi everybody,

In writing a glossary of building terms (approx. 400 entries) in a natural TABLE.

For each letter, A, B, C, I want a screen background, spanning on 2 colomns,
with \bf style, etc.  : this leads to a rather long definition that I don't wish
to copy on each new letter row, so I made a little macro to recall this setup.

This system is not working yet, so i beg your help, TIA for any answer

you can say odd/even etc instead of 1,3,5

Thinking about a feature request:

I very frequentely set every third (3,6,9,...) row with gray background 
to make wide tables well-arranged. I did it by a loop or with a script 
that generates data. Some 'everythird' equivalent to 'even' or 'odd' 
would be more strightforward.

Maybe I was unclear, I just want to be able to recall a certain style for
certain rows : the position of the rows is not regular, as in my case,
it's for emphasis for each new letter (A,B,C, etc.) of glossary terms.

As this def is rather long, i just wanted to make a more readable code. So
I tried to put
[nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}]

in \def\Rowa#1{[nc=2,..]{#1}}

and call this def on new letter row by

%\bTR  \bTD [command=\Rowa] B \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING
\bTR  \bTD[nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,
	style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]B \eTD \eTR
\bTR  \bTD barre \eTD \bTD \'Element de structure .. \eTD \eTR 
\bTR  \bTD barre comprimée \eTD \bTD \'Eleme .. \eTD \eTR 
\bTR  \bTD [nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,
	style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]C \eTD \eTR 
\bTR \bTD [command=\Rowa] C \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING
\bTR  \bTD c.. \eTD \bTD ... \eTD \eTR

This is obviousluy a minor request, since i've already copied this def on
each row manually.

Thanks again

Thanks a lot, it's working like a charm. What complex code before for
getting much more simple code after, in the tables ! It's that kind of
stuff that makes Context attractive, even for an end user like me.
