Ian-

Thanks for the insight! I'm OK with how to use CSS, but it was the application of the << and >> that I was missing. Very clever. I knew that there had to be a way...

Define a special styling for a specific table in your CSS file (note the 
"specialtable" class):

.specialtable th {
text-align: left;
background-color: #eee;
line-height: 1em;
margin-top: 0.2em;
margin-bottom: 0.1em;
padding-left: 5px;
}

.specialtable td {
similar but not identical
}

In a wiki page, use the "specialtable" class to style the table:

specialtable<<
(:table:)
(:headnr:)
blah
(:head:)
blah
(:cellnr:)
blah
(:cell:)
blah
(:tableend:)
<<
This will style just the tables that use the specialtable class without styling all 
tables site-wide. You can change the class name "specialtable" to anything you 
want but the class in the CSS file and the styling in the wiki page must match.

Am I missing something? I'd like to apply some CSS styling to table cells. I 
can make it work like this:

(:headnr align=left 
style="background-color:#eee;line-height:1.9em;margin-top:0.2em;margin-bottom:0.1em;padding-left:5px":)

(:cell [similar but not identical] :)

but repeating this for each cell is tedious and hard to maintain.

I tried creating pub/css/local.css and defining a style there, but rewriting 
the above as

(:headnr align=left class="test":)

had no effect. PmWiki has many ways to do styling; maybe I'm missing some 
crucial fact.

Thanks for any comments!
