Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Avoid vertical and hrizontal intersect in a table

[Gho57bu57er]

Hey!
I'm currently in the process of composing my master's thesis and striving to achieve a consistent formatting for all the tables. Is there a method to prevent the vertical lines from intersecting with the horizontal lines?

The appearance of my tables is somewhat similar to this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tblr}{
  cells = {c},
  vline{2} = {-}{},
  hline{1-2,5} = {-}{},
}
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text 
\end{tblr}
\end{table}

\end{document}

I've already made attempts to manipulate the `abovepos` and `belowpos` parameters.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tblr}{
  cells = {c},
  vline{2} = {-}{abovepos = -1, belowpos = -1},
  hline{1-2,5} = {-}{},
}
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text & Text & Text 
\end{tblr}
\end{table}

\end{document}

However, this approach leads to the creation of gaps in places where horizontal lines are absent as well. Is there a way to eliminate these gaps?



Thanks,

I'm not sure why you would want it this way, but...the booktabs package actually does this as an unintended side-effect.
