% Normally, @ is not a valid character in macro names. Make the @ symbol a

% Define a new `dndlongtable` environment similar to the `dndtable` environment.

%   \end{dndlongtable}
%u
% Unlike `dndtable`, this will use the `xtabular*` environment from the xtab
% package to create a table that spans multiple text columns.
%
% `dndtable` wraps `tabularx`, which offers a special X column type that
% automatically wraps text to the table width. Unfortunately, we can't use that
% column type with xtabular* tables. We have to replicate it using fixed column
% widths:
%
%   >{\centering}p{0.1\linewdith}   Create a centred column 10% as wide as the line.
%   p{0.8\linewidth}                Create a left-aligned column 85% as wide as the line.
%
% The 5% difference leaves some space between columns.
%
% Refer to the xparse documentation for more information on the 
% `\NewDocumentEnvironment` command and O argument type.
\NewDocumentEnvironment{dndlongtable}{O{>{\centering}p{0.1\linewidth} p{0.8\linewidth}} O{tablecolor}}{%
  % End horizontal mode. Pad the top of the table with some vertical space.
  \par\vspace*{8pt}
  % Disable indentation on the next line.
  \noindent
  % Set the sans-serif table body font.
  \dnd@TableBodyFont
  % Set alternating row colours.
  \rowcolors{1}{}{#2}
  % Create an `xtabular*` table as wide as the current line (column) and pass
  % the column spec to it (#1).
  \begin{xtabular*}{\linewidth}{#1}

  \end{xtabular*}
  % Pad the bottom of the table with some vertical space.
  \vspace{8pt plus 1pt}
  % Disable indentation on the next line.

% Disable the @ character in macro names again.

% Define a new command that increments and prints the counter with zero-padding.
