I would like to alter my ham-radio logbook so that every other row is a full-length notes row, possibly having the words "notes" in light grey in the background of the full-length row.

+-------+-------+-------+ |header1|header2|header3| +-------+-------+-------+ | | | | +-------+-------+-------+ | notes | +-------+-------+-------+ | | | | +-------+-------+-------+ | notes | +-----------------------+ ...

Here's the code so far: http://pastebin.com/BgHGkhq8
