IIUC, you want the frame at the bottom of the first and last column to be
red, and rest of the columns to be black.
\noalign is the wrong construct for this. You want aligned rules. So, create
a new row (of approrpriate height) and set the rule in each column.
Yes, I guess that is the way to go. I awoke with that thought this morning.
Is there some guru who knows how to accomplish this?
Why are using inserting color rule manually. Both the table and the TABLE
mechanisms allow you to easily adjust the color of the rules. Why not use
those for creating tables.
Because since a long time I have my own table macro with which I am quite
comfortable: I can make it do exactly as I wish.

[NTG-context] noalign in tabulate
Hi,
How do I insert a noalign in tabulate. It seems that noalign messes up
the width calculations of paragraphs. This is what I tried.
\starttext
\starttabulate
\NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR
\NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR
\stoptabulate
\starttabulate
\NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR
\noalign{Some quotes}
\NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR
\stoptabulate
\starttabulate
\NC tufte \NC \input tufte \NR
\TABLEnoalign{Some quotes}
\NC zapf \NC \input zapf \NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
Suggestions?
Aditya

it all depends on what you want to achieve
I want to place a \pdfspecial in front of the \HL. Peter Rolf pointed
out correctly (and I had seen that myself as well) that the problem
seems to be with \AR only. I'll try and check if I can make the whole
thing work transparently with \AR or if I have to ask users to use \FR,
\MR, \LR for this usage pattern. (Usage: You build a table line by line
in a presentation.)

how about

After all, the place I'm trying to do a \noalign is not inside some other \noalign and that's the only thing \TABLEnoalign adds – as far as I read the source. Sorry to hear. I was just browsing through an old table, as I remembered your question. After some reading and testing I have found out, that \AR is the cause of the problem. Your example works with \SR \FR \LR..., but not with \AR. Adding a \TB[] in front of \noalign works, but surely has some unwanted side effects.
