Thanks Gordon but this example makes the text alternate in color not
the background of the text. I presume that there is no way to do this
based on other comments here. Table support in htmlText would be
greatly appreciated.

Howdy Varen,
About your post:
I'm trying to format a list field which displays plain old html with
a list of links. I'd like to format the list so that each link in the
list is an alternating color such as white, light grey, white, light
grey, etc.....
Here is an example which may get you started..
Given a simple stack with one card that has two fields on it:
(1) field "htmlFld" that displays the information, and
(2) field "entryFld" where you can enter sample HTML to play with.
Field "entryFld" has the following script:
on enterInField
set the htmlText of field "htmlFld" to me
end enterInField
And I entered the following into field "entryFld":
<font color="black">Line 1
<li><font color="green">Line 2
<li><font color="blue">Line 3
When you hit enter with the cursor in field "entryFld", then field
"htmlFld" displays this:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
The first line is black, the second line is green, and the third line
is blue.
OK, here is another idea...
Given a card with a field that contains the list of data to colorize,
this script will set the colors to alternate:
on mouseUp
local tColor1, tColor2, tLastColor
put "blue" into tColor1
put "green" into tColor2
put tColor1 into tLastColor
local tLine
repeat with tLine = 1 to the number of lines of field 1
set the textColor of line tLine of field 1 to tLastColor
if tLastColor is tColor1 then put tColor2 into tLastColor
else put tColor1 into tLastColor
end repeat
end mouseUp
