    <para>Set the background color of a table element.  The color of a

    child element is inherited from its parent, with the exception of

    the color of row cells. These have a color which is inherited from

    the column in which they appear so long as no color is specified

    for the row.  How the color is set, whether by attribute or by

    processing instruction, does not matter.</para>
