Re: [xsl] Alternating Colors For Table Rows

["Thomas B. Passin" <tpassin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, looks like my explanatory table got wrapped, at least in my email
client.  Let me try it again:

 position()    position() mod $n   position() mod (2$n)
 0                     0                            0
 1                      1                             1
 2                      2                            2
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 3                      0                            3
 4                      1                            4
 5                      2                            5
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 6                      0                            0
 7                      1                             1
 8                      2                             2
---------------------------------------------------------
 9                      0                             3
 etc.

Sorry about the earlier one.
