Hi everyone,

Excuse my poor English. I recently updated my online table generator 
(http://latex-tables.com) to support ConTeXt. It also supports many languages, 
like LaTeX, Plain TeX, Markdown, HTML and more. It uses the eXtreme table 
format and supports many features including :
- Borders, border width and border color
- Merged cells
- Background color
- Alignment (flushleft, center, flushright)
- Splitted tables
- Rotated tables
- Caption
- More...

However, I have many issues that I have trouble to fix.

1/ I have many troubles with borders, because I can't set the color and the 
width of each border. Instead, I use "fake rows" and "fake cells" when it is 
necessary. However, I can't figure out how to set the height of a row to 0.4pt. 
It's always bigger. So, instead I use "location=hanging" on this row but, 
because of this, borders are hidden behind the next row's background. What can 
I do about this ?

MWE without background color :

\definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251]
\definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502]
\definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0]
\definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1]
\definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0]
\definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1]
\placetable[none]{}{
  \startxtable[align=lohi,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on]
    \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on]
      \startxcell\stopxcell
      \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \startxrow
      \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell
      \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell
      \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    
\startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse]
      \startxcell\stopxcell
      \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
}

MWE with background color

\definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251]
\definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502]
\definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0]
\definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1]
\definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0]
\definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1]
\definecolor[Dolly][r=1,g=1,b=0.502]
\placetable[none]{}{
  
\startxtable[align=lohi,background=color,backgroundcolor=Dolly,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on]
    \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,background=none]
      \startxcell\stopxcell
      \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \startxrow
      \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell
      \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell
      \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    
\startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse]
      \startxcell\stopxcell
      \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
}

2/ I have trouble with rotated cells. It seems to affect the width of the 
table. How can I use a rotated cell without setting manually a fixed width.

MWE :

\placetable[none]{}{
  \startxtable[align=lohi]
    \startxrow
      \startxcell \rotate[rotation=90]{Test test test}\stopxcell
      \startxcell Test\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \startxrow
      \startxcell Test\stopxcell
      \startxcell Test\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
}

Thank you !
