Question: how to change border color of tables?

[0-issue]

Unable to find a config option to change color of table borders. If there isn't, it would be nice to have one.

html tables? Not implemented yet, AFAIK.

@rkd77 Table borders are not visible with non-default config as elinks emits black foreground color \e[30m for table borders and black background color \e[40m. So it's black over black.

In the following video you can see how the table is hidden, and becomes visible only when terminal makes background colors transparent. First the contents of file:

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="5" class="calibre7">
    <colgroup class="calibre20">
        <col width="550" class="calibre9"/>
    </colgroup>
    <tbody class="calibre10">
        <tr class="calibre11">
            <td class="calibre21"></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Ah, foreground and background colors being same can be fixed with set document.colors.ensure_contrast = 1. For now I have done that to be able to see table borders. Though not sure where it is getting the black color from. Here's a minimal conf file that shows black is being emitted for table border, even though there is no option for it.

Open test.html from above comment with command TERM=tmux-256color elinks test.html.

elinks.conf:

  ## document.colors 
  #  Default document color settings.

    ## document.colors.text <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default text color.
    set document.colors.text = "gray75"

    ## document.colors.background <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default background color.
    set document.colors.background = "black"

    ## document.colors.link <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default link color.
    set document.colors.link = "brown"

    ## document.colors.vlink <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default visited link color.
    set document.colors.vlink = "brown"

    ## document.colors.image <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default image link color.
    set document.colors.image = "brown"

    ## document.colors.bookmark <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default bookmarked link color.
    set document.colors.bookmark = "hotpink"

    ## document.colors.dirs <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default directory color.
    #  
    #  See document.browse.links.color_dirs option.
    set document.colors.dirs = "yellow"

    ## document.colors.use_link_number_color [0|1]
    #  Whether to use link number color even when colors specified by the
    #  document are used.
    set document.colors.use_link_number_color = 0

    ## document.colors.link_number <color|#rrggbb>
    #  Default link number color.
    set document.colors.link_number = "green"

    ## document.colors.increase_contrast [0|1]
    #  Increase the contrast between the foreground and background colors to
    #  ensure readability. For example it disallows dark colors on a black
    #  background. Note, this is different from ensuring the contrast with the
    #  ensure_contrast option.
    set document.colors.increase_contrast = 0

    ## document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1]
    #  Makes sure that the back- and foreground colors are never equal.
    set document.colors.ensure_contrast = 0

    ## document.colors.use_document_colors <num>
    #  Use colors specified in document:
    #  0 is use always the default settings
    #  1 is use document colors if available, except background
    #  2 is use document colors, including background. This can
    #    mostly look very impressive, but some sites will appear
    #    really ugly. Note, that obviously if the background is
    #    not black, it will break the behaviour of transparency.
    set document.colors.use_document_colors = 0
