question on the use of DocBook directives

[Wendell MacKenzie <mackendw gmail com>]

Hi:

   I'm having difficulty getting Gnome yelp with DocBook helpfiles I'm building to properly format tables.  I would like to set the background color of some of the elements within the table to have specific color.

   Here is the table:

          <informaltable frame='all'><title>Value Table</title>
            <tgroup cols='2' align='center' colsep='1' rowsep='1'>
            <colspec colname='color'/>
            <colspec colname='description'/>
            <thead>
              <row>
                <entry>Color</entry>
                <entry>Description</entry>
              </row>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
              <row>
                <entry>RED
                  <?dbhtml bgcolor="#E32424" ?><?dbfo bgcolor="#E32424" ?>
                </entry>
                <entry>The last backup taken failed and there are no external media copies</entry>
              </row>
              <row>
                <entry>CYAN</entry>
                <entry>Backup exists on disk only - needs to be burned to external media</entry>
              </row>
              <row>
                <entry>YELLOW</entry>
                <entry>The last backup taken encountered a problem - may be a problem</entry>
              </row>
              <row>
                <entry>WHITE</entry>
                <entry>Backup file was successfully burned to external media at least once</entry>
              </row>
            </tbody>
            </tgroup>
            </informaltable>

  Note the RED entry where I've attempted to make the background for it to be RED in color. 

   Problem is, it don't work.  No RED background when I invoke this file directly with yelp.

Any ideas ??

thx.

W. MacKenzie
