[NTG-context] Re: making TABLE spacing match tabulate/halign spacing

i should have probably mentioned ahead of time that i needed this since i wanted to replicate a booktabs style table layout with normal text spacing, like one would have in LaTeX with the appropriate package. the plan was to have a top/bottom rule enabled for a row. sadly it seems like with this solution rule thickness is added no matter if the frame is on or off.

is an equivalent negative offset added to the appropriate rows a proper way around this? i measured the baseline skip in Inkscape, and it seems to be correct.

You can use MetaPost to draw the table rules and keep the default lines at 0pt, to add additional vertical space when needed you can use the toffset and boffset keys. Wolfgang
