Reproduce a PDF table with colored vertical semi lines

Question

Hi I'm really new to LaTeX. I've started learning yesterday and my plan is to recreate our medical reports from a design PDF to dynamic LaTeX PDF.

My problem is to create these semi-vertical lines between the column 1 and 2 (see below)

What I mean with semi-vertical:

1 2 3

A | B | C

D | E | F

The vertical lines does not touch each other, and the header does not have lines.

I've also wanted to get a more rounded edges from what I have and my line in between isn't where it was supposed to be. I also can't manage to add color to them.

This is what I've achieved up to now:

    valign=center, halign=center] c.181C>A \\ p.Q61K \end{tcolorbox}
\\   
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}

Just to explain my code. I need the boxes to be of a delimited size. They can not mutate as the text is typed. I will need to manage each box size individually. Some of them won't have the same width size.

I know my coding is not good. I am a beginner in R and have no experience with LaTeX at all. I think that for one day learning I did a decent job

I've search the forum for a long time looking for vertical semi lines. Please let me know if you can help me.

Answer 1

Warning, I have changed the colours to make the image easier to be recognizable on screen.

My first thought: This is something for tcbraster rather than a table.

However, I provide two solutions, one with a regular table and the second one with tcbraster.

One main issue according to the O.P. are the vertical lines. tcolorbox provides the borderline feature, which can be set individually to any side of the box, with various, TikZ - based styles.

Both use basically special \newtcolorbox boxes for header and normal 'cell' boxes.

It's difficult to fit the vertical spacings in the tabular approach, this is much easier achieved with tcbraster and the raster row skip value. However, \hline does not work there, but this can be faked with a multicolumn raster box, being wrapped in a \fakehline command.
