Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Box around multiple cells

[Stefanie]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use boxes in a tabular environment?
E.g. if I have

Code: Select all

 \begin{tabular}{ccc} 
    A    &  B & C  \\ 
    D    &  E & F \\
\end{tabular}

I would like to draw a box around A and B, and around E and F to show that they are grouped together. \fbox{A & B} doesn't work, because fbox can only be used within one cell.

Thanks!

Try this:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{ccc}
    \cline{1-2}
    \multicolumn{1}{|c}{A} &  \multicolumn{1}{c|}{B} & C  \\
    \hline
    D    &  \multicolumn{1}{|c}{E} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{F} \\
    \cline{2-3}
\end{tabular}
