a line that goes to the border of the cell but not further, i.e. it
does not extend into the space between two cells. So two cells next to
each other would look like this:

 |            |  |             |
-|------------|  |-------------|-
 |            |  |             |

one right trimmed and one left trimmed rule.

this would be the untrimmed variant

 |            |  |             |
-|-----------------------------|-
 |            |  |             |

see the file booktabs.pdf (that describes a LaTeX package) on page
two. Compare the table two and three. Esp. the rule below "Item". It
should not advance over the word Description.

See this table. The middle rule is too wide for me. It needs left and
right timming.
