I'm moving a huge number of tables into lyx. These tables are mostly
normal with a row header, sometimes with a column header. A few have
special background shading in the header to separate visually the type
of the data.
I've read the embedded objects guide and find it astonishing that to
deal with all the tables I would have to go one by one carefully
modifying each table's cell background and font style (usually bold).
I was expecting that lyx (or latex) would have something similar to
html css style sheets were you could specify "first row and column are
headers, rest are normal", and somewhere in the preamble specify how
to make these headers look without having to deal with each table and
cell on a one by one basis.
Is this mass style tweaking possible?
Right now I've imported an RTF document with the tables and each has a
lot of ERT which will be painful to change later.
