LyX ⇒ package booktabs, tables and \bottomrule

[Scot_B]

Hi,

I'm using booktabs and I'm trying to get the \bottomrule to work, i.e. I want a thicker line at the bottom of the table. I can not figure out where in my table the command should go. If I put it in the 'g' cell it makes a line above the 'ghi' cells. If I put it as in the picture it adds another cell below the line. I'm also coloring every other line. I've tried everything I can think of, so any help would be appreciated.

lyx: 2.0.6

preamble:

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{booktabs}

% used for colored table rows
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
% alternate rowcolors for all tables
\let\oldtabular\tabular
\let\endoldtabular\endtabular
\renewenvironment{tabular}{\rowcolors{2}{}{TerraTerra}\oldtabular}{\endoldtabular}

It seems you are confident with code and LyX. Can you try to prepare a minimal working example? This way we can reproduce the exact behaviour.

Here is a minimum lyx file of the two tables I talked about.

Adding a "%" at the end of the last line works, it should read:

\tabularnewline\bottomrule[2pt]%

The table now has a thicker top and bottom line, which you can specify the thickness of, and with colored table lines. Hope this helps someone in the future.
