Thanks.

How do you substract/add a number from/to \noflines ? I tried \thinrules[n=\advance\the\noflines by -2] \thinrules[n=\advance\noflines by -2] \thinrules[n={\advance\the\noflines by -2}] \thinrules[n={\advance\noflines by -2}] neither works. -- Best, Alan * TeX engine = LuaTeX * ConTeXt minimals ver: 2009.01.18 14:39 MKIV fmt: 2009.1.22 int: english/english * Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, Windows XP SP3 Home
