Purpose

This allows you to use lines to border your table. It's one of the more versatile styles just as it has so much variety.

It has two required attributes: kind (with the options of GRID, BOX, OUTLINE, INNERGRID, LINEBELOW, LINEABOVE, LINEBEFORE and LINEAFTER), and colorName. You can also use the start and stop attributes to apply it to a specific range of cells.

Check out our docs page on this.
