change borders of selected rows and columns of a flextable. This function is not to be used by end user (it requires careful settings to avoid overlapping borders) but only for programming purposes.
If you need to add borders, use instead other functions:
These set borders for the whole table : border_outer(),
border_inner_h() and border_inner_v().
All the following functions also support the
row and column selector i and j:
hline(): set bottom borders (inner horizontal)
vline(): set right borders (inner vertical)
hline_top(): set the top border (outer horizontal)
hline_bottom(): set the bottom border (outer horizontal)
vline_left(): set the left border (outer vertical)
vline_right(): set the right border (outer vertical)
If you want to highlight specific cells with some borders, use
surround().
