Hi to all, is there any way to make dashed or dotted lines in a table (instead of continuous) with ConTeXt? Thanks, Ricard Roca

You can draw the lines in a table by using Metapost (see the example in enattab.pdf, p. 9 and 10; there, you can easily have all kinds of dashed, dotted, and colored patterns, Does that help? Thomas
Yes, more or less. I meant drawing the normal horizontal and vertical rules that separate rows and columns dashed or dotted instead of continuous, but using TeX itself, i.e. with an option or command from one of the table packages, redefining some internal macro, etc. But I see that's not (easily) doable, and one has to use Metapost.

Check in the TeXbook (I'm far O(10^4) km from my copy right now) about leaders and \hrulefill, that might do it. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
