Re: Color Schemes for Tables in Documentation

["Edwin Skau" <eddy -dot- skau -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Whatever color scheme you use, get a black-and-white printout to see what it
looks like, also get a two-sheets-to-a-page output for good measure. That is
probably how many readers will read your documents in hard copy unless you
offset print it.
