ABSTRACT:
A system that facilitates a grid-based approach to defining styles for a table. During operation, the system allows a user to define a new table style by specifying styles for cells in a two-dimensional grid of table cells, wherein a style for a given cell specifies one or more attributes for the given cell. The system then applies the new table style to a target table, wherein applying the new table style involves repeating or tiling a pattern of cell styles defined in the two-dimensional grid across the target table.
