# TableSeparatorTypeEnum

> TableSeparatorTypeEnum in the ABBYY FineReader Engine API — Types of table separators (absent, unknown, invisible, explicit, multiple).

TableSeparatorTypeEnum enumeration constants are used to denote different types of table separators.

```
typedef enum {
 TST_Absent,
 TST_Unknown,
 TST_Invisible,
 TST_Explicit,
 TST_Multiple
} TableSeparatorTypeEnum;
```

## Elements

| Name | Description |
| - | - |
| TST\\\_Absent | This type of table separator is used inside a merged cell. |
| TST\\\_Explicit | This type of separator may be assigned as a result of layout recognition. It corresponds to an ordinary black or color table separator of the original table. |
| TST\\\_Invisible | This type of separator may be assigned as a result of layout recognition. As a rule, this type of separator appears where the original table does not have one but where it "should be." |
| TST\\\_Multiple | This type of separator may be assigned as a result of table editing. |
| TST\\\_Unknown | This type is initially assigned to table separators created by user. |
