    Hi,
    I presume you are asking about printed output, not HTML output.
    There is a named template that handles the format properties on each table cell, and another to apply format properties to the fo:block inside each cell. These are described in these two sections of my book:

    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.properties

    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.block.properties

    You could customize these using additional xpath selectors. The existing template uses "ancestor::thead" to test for table header cells. You could use "count(preceding-sibling::entry) = 0" to detect first cells in each row.

    Correct, I am looking at print output.
    I was hoping to be able to do column specific formatting based on defining a
    role in the colspec. This does not seem possible, correct?

    As an alternative, I have been trying to put a role on 'entry', but have not
    been successful. How do I change table.cell.properties based on an attribute
    of an ancestor?

    Regards,
