Hi. I have two questions, really. I know that I can get a horizontal
line with \ML in a tabulate table. \HL doesn't seem to work for me,
though.
ecashin@marblerye tmp$ cat test.tex
\starttext
\starttabulate
\NC hi \NC there \NC \NR
\HL
\NC yo \NC there \NC \NR
\ML
\NC whassup \NC there \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
ecashin@marblerye tmp$ texexec --pdf test < /dev/null
TeXExec 3.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003
executable : pdfetex
format : cont-en
inputfile : test
output : pdftex
interface : en
current mode : none
TeX run : 1
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13d-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1)
entering extended mode
(test.tex[/opt/teTeX-1.0.7/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg]
ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21 fmt: 2003.9.12 int: english mes: english
...
The resulting test.pdf has only one horizontal line. It's above
"whassup there".
My second question is how do I make vertical lines in tabulate tables?

your ConTeXt version is either too old or too new. Depends on how you
look at it. \HL was deactivated a few weeks ago (when?), and now
partly reintroduced, but not 100% compatible as before. There was a
discussion on this topic a couple days ago.

without thinking about it I'd say: you can't.

I bet it's too new. The original post includes the exact version if
anyone wants to check.

I hope it's supported. Tabulate is a very sophisticated environment
with fancy features. Vertical lines seem like a basic feature.

indeed, it's on my to do list (i.e. when i need it); dirty trick (only non
pars):
\starttabulate[|b{\vl\quad}a{\quad\vl}|b{\vl\quad}a{\quad\vl}|]
\NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

Thanks for the dirty trick. My major professor made fun of my use of
context when he found out that I couldn't easily put a vertical line
in a table. :)

There are of course other Context environments where you are definitely able
to prodce lines in whatever style.
\starttable{} .. \stoptable for simple tables may be you compile the
module-documentation form core-tab.tex
\bTABLE ... \eTABLE for difficult tables there is a example file on
pragma-site!
