Natural tables, rulethickness

Natural tables, rulethickness

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello,

I have a (natural) table and I'd like to have three rules in that
table. The toprule and the bottomrule should be .08em thick, the
midrule 0.05em. What would be a way to achieve that? The example is
incorrect.


\starttext

\setupTABLE[r][each][frame=off]
\setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=.08em]
\setupTABLE[r][first][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=.05em]
\setupTABLE[r][last][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=.08em]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD Lorem \eTD \bTD ipsum \eTD \bTD dolor sit \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD amet \eTD \bTD[nc=2] consectetuer adipiscing elit \eTD  \eTR
\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD  \eTD \bTD Donec hendrerit tempor tellus. Donec pretium posuere\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD  \eTD \bTD tellus. Proin quam nisl, tincidunt
et, mattis eget, convallis nec, \unknown \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD  \eTD \bTD[nc=2] purus. Cum sociis \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 3 (natoque) \eTD \bTD penatibus \eTD \bTD  \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] et magnis dis \eTD  \eTR

\eTABLE
\stoptext

You can't use different frame sizes in the same frame (as in \framed). A
simple solution is

\setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on,rulethickness=.05em]

instead of using a bottomframe. Or maybe better

\setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=.08em,
  after={\hrule width\hsize height.05em}]

You can adjust the vertical spacing by using

\setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=.08em,
  after={\hbox{\raise 5pt\hbox{\vrule width\hsize height.05em}}}]

But the second solution maybe has some unwanted sideeffects (page
breaks,..). I've tried to use \hrule in combination with 'before=', but
this does not work here. Hope this helps.

Greetings, Peter

Hello Patrick,
I've just seen Peter Rolf's solution, this is of course the better and
simpler one. The only case, where my empty row can be useful, is, when you
have just 2 rows:
\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=off,rulethickness=1pt]
\setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on]
\setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on,rulethickness=0.3pt,offset=overlay,height=0pt]
\setupTABLE[r][last][bottomframe=on]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD     \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

(There are some tables, where I need this...)

Cheers, Peter

Replace this line by
\setupTABLE[r][2][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=.05em,height=0pt,offset=overlay]

> \bTABLE
> \bTR \bTD Lorem \eTD \bTD ipsum \eTD \bTD dolor sit \eTD \eTR

and add here (second row):
\bTR \bTD[nc=3] \eTD \eTR

Cheers, Peter

[Three rules in a table]

Thanks, Peter and Peter, the following setup produces the output I'd
like to have:

\setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=.08em,
  after={\hrule width\hsize height.05em}]
\setupTABLE[r][last][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=.08em]

but I wish (feature request....) something like

\toprule
\bTR .... \eTR 
\midrule
\bTR .... \eTR 
\bTR .... \eTR 
\bTR .... \eTR 
\bottomrule

or together with \setupTABLE.

Patrick

Something like:

\def\midrule{% assume we're in a bTABLE
  \bTR[rulethickness=0.8pt,height=\rulethickness,bottomframe=on]\eTR}

might work.

Basically the idea is to insert a very small row with only the rule.
