Configurable table/grid repeated border #6072
Description
Description
Right now, any lines at the top and bottom of tables and grids are always repeated:
#set page(width: auto, height: 9em)
#table(
table.hline(stroke: red),
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
table.hline(stroke: blue),
)3 pages, the lines appear in all of them
While this felt like a good default after the Typst 0.11 table revamp (#3001), some users have requested to be able to turn this off.
Currently, one way to do so is by adding empty cells at the top and bottom of the table.
#set page(width: auto, height: 5.5em)
#let cols = 2
#let workaround-cell = table.cell(colspan: cols, stroke: none, fill: none, inset: 0pt)[]
#table(
columns: cols,
workaround-cell, // !
table.hline(stroke: red),
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
[a],
table.hline(stroke: blue),
workaround-cell, // !
)3 pages, lines not repeated
But a convenient API would be nice, e.g. border: auto (default) | none (no repeat).
Use Case
Some tables do not need their top and bottom lines to be repeated.
