Hi, I am struggling with the last row of a table which, according to its author, should have a black bottomframe, but gray (I am using a defined 'lightgray') for the sides. The first row has a black frame. All intermediate rows have gray.

I have no difficulty achieving the first row, and the black bottomframe for the last row, but I have been unable to get the last row sides to be gray. Here is the current setups that I have:

\setupTABLE[frame=off]

\setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]

\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=on]

\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=off,rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray]

\setupTABLE[row][3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21][frame=on, framecolor=lightgray]

\setupTABLE[row] [last] [bottomframe=on,style=normal]

My first row is fine and all but the topframe of row 2 is 'lightgray'; all following rows are 'lightgray'. The last row (22) has a black bottomframe, but how could I achieve 'lightgray' for rightframe, leftframe? If I add a new setup e.g.

\setupTABLE[row][last][rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray] then I lose the bottomframe in black. I have tried all kinds of combinations but unsuccessfully.

Table cells are based on \framed, and there doesn’t seem to be an option to have different colors of parts of the frame (e.g. bottomframecolor…) You can use a MetaPost graphic as background, like in the “diagonal” example: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#Diagonal_rules HTH, Hraban

One way to achieve what you want is to have a dummy last row. \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold] \setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=off,rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray] \setupTABLE[row][3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22][frame=on, framecolor=lightgray] \setupTABLE[row] [last] [topframe=on,framecolor=black, height=0pt] \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{22}{ \bTR\bTD Row #1 column 1 \eTD\bTD Row #1 column 2 \eTD\eTR } % Dummy last row \bTR \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
