Here’s a bit of magic to make fancy striped tables. The javascript is from
http://alistapart.com/articles/zebratables/. 4 steps. One caveat, if you have
multiple tables on a page (not including headers and footers) this
could result in multiple instances of id=”tabular”. If anyone knows how to adapt the
javascript to identify class instead of id, that would be an improvement.

1. Edit emacs-wiki-publishing-header and add this javascript somewhere within
   the head tag:

2. Edit emacs-wiki-publishing-header so that the body tag has an onload attribute as follows:

3. Edit emacs-wiki-table-attributes so that it includes id=”tabular”:

       (setq emacs-wiki-table-attributes "id=\"tabular\" border=\"0\"
   cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=0")
   

4. Add something like the following to your stylesheet:

       /*
       // Only tables with the "tabular" id, thereby avoiding header
       // and footer tables.
      */
   
       table#tabular {
           border: 3px solid #555;
       }
   
   
       /*
       // Apply border to all td elements which are not in the first row.
       */
   
       table#tabular tr + tr>td {
           border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
       }
   
       table#tabular td {
           padding: .5ex .5em;
       }
   
   
       /*
       // Apply left border to all columns except the first.
       */
   
       table#tabular td + td {
           border-left: 1px dotted #aaa;
       }
