Hi,

No, double line borders are not supported in a direct way.

Nevertheless, there is an easy hack which allows you to simulate them.
Assume for instance that you need a double horizontal border between
two rows. First insert a new empty row between both rows. Remove all
borders around the new row. Next set the height of the row to exactly
4ln (for instance; this is four times the width of the default border
strokes). Finally, in the special cell properties menu, disable
the "text height correction".

Not extremely practical, but, of course, this way of doing things
also has some advantages, because it allows for a very fine grained
control over how to render the double lines (especially in the case
of intersections). Notice that the export to LaTeX will be incorrect
most of the time.

Best wishes, --Joris
