Thanks so much for this, it looks really nice (booth the implementation and the
output).
I've added this to the TABLE wiki since this example above is a table, however
I suspect this would work for any "frame".
Is there a reason why this doesn't work with mkii? I'm not using mkii for a
long time now, just the wiki didn't rendered this example properly and also on
my local machine it didn't show the thick rules, works perfectly with mkiv
though.
Cheers
Adam
