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.

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. Vit

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.
