Table question

Table question

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

Hi all,

quick question: does any of the table environments in ConTeXt (table, 
tables, TABLE, linetable) provide the possibility to have double lines 
separate some rows and columns?

A || B | C
__________
----------
D |  E | F

Thanks a lot!

OK, I'm answering my own question from October: by shamelessly copying 
and adapting code from enattab, I managed to get double lines in 
tables, and I'm almost there. I guess real texnicians would call it a 
dirty hack, but it does what I want. Could anybody test this code:

\starttext

\startuniqueMPgraphic{c11}
path p ;
p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ;
path q ;
q = llcorner p--ulcorner p ;
pair a ;
a := point .08 of q ;
path r ;
r = lrcorner p--urcorner p ;
pair b ;
b := point .08 of r ;
draw b--a--ulcorner p--urcorner p ;
draw lrcorner p--llcorner p--a ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\startuniqueMPgraphic{c12}
path p ;
p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ;
path q ;
q = ulcorner p--urcorner p ;
pair a ;
a := point .02 of q ;
path r ;
r = llcorner p--lrcorner p ;
pair b ;
b := point .02 of r ;
path s ;
s = lrcorner p--urcorner p ;
pair c ;
c := point .08 of s ;

t = b--a ;

\eTABLE

\stoptext

As you can see, the only problem is that there is a small gap between 
the rows in the table. Is there a way how this gap can be closed?

Thanks for your patience!

Just add "offset=overlay" to your TABLE setup.

Holy cow, this was it! Thanks so much, this works! Wonderful, now I get 
the tables I always wated. Hope this might help other people, too. 
Patrick, would this be of interest for the wiki?

Best, thanks so much

Thomas

Hi,

I don't know if this is in the manuals, or not. If it is (and you just
missed it), then I see no point in duplicating the documentation
(now). If it isn't and you find a place where it fits, go ahead! This
is just my opinion, but the wiki is open to anybodys opionion out
there.

Patrick
