Basically, I created a new class to produce tables close to the old style. But then I worked out that you can stack classes, so I created several more for you to make your tables just how you like them.
The new classes are:NOTE: The alternating row colours will not work on IE8 or below.
head Will produce a table with a different header row colour, just like the old style. You need to use TH instead of TD for this colour, of course. alt1 Will produce the alternating light sand colour rows on the even numbered rows, just like the old style. alt2 Will produce alternating darker sand colour rows on the odd numbered rows, this is a new addition. outer_border Not actually a new class, but I did set it up to override the inside borders of these classes.
Examples (all examples follow the same format, with a TH row):
Header only
[table="width: 500, class: head"]
