Wiki ⇒ TABLES ⇒ Rules with different thickness However, IMO it seems total overkill to use MetaPost and overlays to draw a simple line in a table.

Do you mean something like this ? \startsetups table \setupTABLE [frame=off] \setupTABLE [r][1] [bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE [1] [1] [bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt] \setupTABLE [1] [2] [bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt] \setupTABLE [c][3] [bottomframe=off] \stopsetups \starttext \bTABLE [setups=table] \bTR\bTD\eTD\bTD\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[nc=2] Lorem \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Ipsum \eTD\bTD Dolor \eTD\bTD Sit \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD aaaaaa \eTD\bTD bbbbbbbb \eTD\bTD ccccccc \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD dddd \eTD\bTD eeeeeeee \eTD\bTD fffff \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext -- luigi

Side question: Is it safe not to use setups and shorten the example?

Yes, the setups key was added only to separate the table settings from the content. Wolfgang
