Cycle is used to cycle though a set of values. This makes it easy
to alternate between two or more colors in a table, or cycle
through an array of values.
You can cycle through more than one set of values in your template
by supplying a name attribute. Give each set of values a unique
name.
You can force the current value not to print with the print
attribute set to false. This would be useful for silently skipping
a value.
The advance attribute is used to repeat a value. When set to false,
the next call to cycle will print the same value.
If you supply the special "assign" attribute, the output of the
cycle function will be assigned to this template variable instead of
being output to the template.
cycle
{section name=rows loop=$data}
<tr bgcolor="{cycle values="#eeeeee,#d0d0d0"}">
<td>{$data[rows]}</td>
</tr>

OUTPUT:

<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0">
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<td>3</td>
</tr>
