Reply To: XMetal (12) and html table’s border formatting

[Derek Read]

If you really want to hide borders on a table, and the table is HTML, and you have set the value for @border to 0 (so that the borders are currently being displayed as a dotted line), in newer versions of the software you can select View > Hide Table Grid. The option Show Table Grid will render them again. View settings don't alter markup in any way.

This feature was designed like a sort of preview to answer the question “I wonder what my borderless table might look like after my document has been transformed to a format where tables aren't visible”. Of course some assumptions need to be made here but it can give you some rough idea. I wouldn't recommend trying to author this way though.
