Increase thickness of table borders

Post by vhii »

Hello,
short question, how can I increase the thickness of table borders? I haven't been able to find any info about this in the latex manuals or by googling.

When doing this, you should additionally use the array package. It fixes a bug in standard LaTeX.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{2pt}
To see the difference, try this command with and without array. You will get really nice looking tables with booktabs.


Best regards
