Hi

I stumbled upon this while making a table with rules, where I wanted to have a particular row highlighted with a thicker border: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg33678.html

Since this was posted more then two years ago, I just wanted to know if anything changed on this front? Having r|l|t|b-offsets I thought I could use the same for rulethickness, but according to this, not yet.

No, there is only one value for all four borders.

The metapost workaround works still fine, so for now I'm using that, just want to know what's the status on this.

It’s the same as in the past, use MetaPost but there are better ways to change values of certain borders: \startuseMPgraphic{tableborders} draw leftboundary OverlayBox withpen pensquare scaled \frameddimension{leftrulethickness} ; draw rightboundary OverlayBox withpen pensquare scaled \frameddimension{rightrulethickness} ; draw topboundary OverlayBox withpen pensquare scaled \frameddimension{toprulethickness} ; draw bottomboundary OverlayBox withpen pensquare scaled \frameddimension{bottomrulethickness} ; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[tableborders][\useMPgraphic{tableborders}] \setupTABLE [ background=tableborders, leftrulethickness=\framedparameter{rulethickness}, rightrulethickness=\framedparameter{rulethickness}, toprulethickness=\framedparameter{rulethickness}, bottomrulethickness=\framedparameter{rulethickness}] \starttext \bTABLE\bTR \bTD One \eTD \bTD[toprulethickness=3pt] Two \eTD \bTD[rightrulethickness=2pt] Three \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang
