[ic] alternating colour display

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Jonny Prouty)]

This is probably the simplest way to do what you want.

You can find it in the manual at
http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictags03%2e02.

[PREFIX-alternate N] DIVISIBLE [else] NOT DIVISIBLE
[/else][/PREFIX-alternate]

Set up an alternation sequence. If the item-increment
is divisible by `N', the text will be displayed. If an
`[else]NOT DIVISIBLE TEXT[/else]' is present, then the
NOT DIVISIBLE TEXT will be displayed.

For example:

    [item-alternate
2]EVEN[else]ODD[/else][/item-alternate]
    [item-alternate 3]BY 3[else]NOT by
3[/else][/item-alternate]


Hope this helps.
