\starttext

\setupcolors[state=start]

\showstruts

\def\betweentabulate#1%
   {\TABLEnoalign{\nointerlineskip#1\nointerlineskip}}

\starttabulate[|l|l|]
\NC it makes \NC much sense        \NC \NR
\betweentabulate{\blackrule[color=red,width=10mm,height=1mm,depth=1mm]}
\NC to read  \NC those tufte books \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
