Subject: Different Horizontal Lines with Tabulate
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2013 20:49:36 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <78D90E56-BAE0-4827-B9F4-16694A065AC0@stien.de> (raw)

Hello,

I have a table in which I have to group a number of rows together. Let's say I have a table with two columns, the first is an item ID and the second a multi-line description for that item. Say I have ten items in the table and I need to group Item 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and so on. Due to the description being quite lengthy in some cases, I would like to use some sort of horizontal rule between items. It seems I have to following options:

1. Using horizontal rules of two different thicknesses (eg. thicker between groups and thinner between items within the same group)
2. Using horizontal rules of two different colour (eg. black between groups and a light grey between items within the same group)
3. Using horizontal rules of different lengths (that is, full length between groups and only in the second column between items within the same group)

Are any of the above possible with tabulate? I could not find anything to achieve any of those. I am quite used to tabulate as my table framework, so I would prefer to use that. If that's not possible however, I'd be happy to use something else.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Malte.
