Hi. I have two questions, really. I know that I can get a horizontal line with \ML in a tabulate table. \HL doesn't seem to work for me, though. ecashin@marblerye tmp$ cat test.tex \starttext \starttabulate \NC hi \NC there \NC \NR \HL \NC yo \NC there \NC \NR \ML \NC whassup \NC there \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ecashin@marblerye tmp$ texexec --pdf test < /dev/null TeXExec 3.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : test output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13d-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1) entering extended mode (test.tex[/opt/teTeX-1.0.7/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg] ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21 fmt: 2003.9.12 int: english mes: english ... The resulting test.pdf has only one horizontal line. It's above "whassup there". My second question is how do I make vertical lines in tabulate tables? -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

your ConTeXt version is either too old or too new. Depends on how you look at it. \HL was deactivated a few weeks ago (when?), and now partly reintroduced, but not 100% compatible as before. There was a discussion on this topic a couple days ago.
My second question is how do I make vertical lines in tabulate tables?
without thinking about it I'd say: you can't. Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

I bet it's too new. The original post includes the exact version if anyone wants to check.

I hope it's supported. Tabulate is a very sophisticated environment with fancy features. Vertical lines seem like a basic feature. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

indeed, it's on my to do list (i.e. when i need it); dirty trick (only non pars): \starttabulate[|b{\vl\quad}a{\quad\vl}|b{\vl\quad}a{\quad\vl}|] \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate

Thanks for the dirty trick. My major professor made fun of my use of context when he found out that I couldn't easily put a vertical line in a table. :) -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

There are of course other Context environments where you are definitely able to prodce lines in whatever style. \starttable{} .. \stoptable for simple tables may be you compile the module-documentation form core-tab.tex \bTABLE ... \eTABLE for difficult tables there is a example file on pragma-site!
