Subject: Question about Amrita

Hi, 

I have a question about amrita.
(amrita is a XML/HTML based template engine, 
 see 
  http://www.brain-tokyo.jp/research/amrita/index.html
)


I'm now trying amrita and create a sample program.
----------------------------------------
require 'amrita/template'
include Amrita

t = TemplateText.new <<END
<table>
  <tr id="links">
    <td><a id="lang"></a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
END

links = [
  { :lang=>a(:href=>'http://www.ruby-lang.org'){"ruby"}   },
  { :lang=>a(:href=>'http://www.python.org')   {"python"} },
  { :lang=>a(:href=>'http://www.perl.org')     {"perl"}   },
]
data = { :links=>links }
t.expand(STDOUT, data)
----------------------------------------

This works fine. Here is output.
----------------------------------------
<table>
  <tr>
    <td><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">ruby</a></td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td><a href="http://www.python.org">python</a></td>
  </tr><tr>
    <td><a href="http://www.perl.org">perl</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
----------------------------------------


And, I want to generate a colored row table, like this:
----------------------------------------
<table>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">ruby</a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="even">
    <td><a href="http://www.python.org">python</a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="odd">
    <td><a href="http://www.perl.org">perl</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>
----------------------------------------

But I don't know how to write an amrita code :-<

In other words, what I want to do is to add an attribute
'class' to '<tr id="links">'.
I can add attributes to '<a id="lang">' with a() method,
but cannot add to '<tr id="links">'.

If you are an amrita user, please give me an advice.
