Parameters:    ã|dimensionã%
 
    ã|Description:ã%
The \hrule markup draws a horizontal  rule across the width of the page.  It
is a native TEX markup, and  the usage is different in that the parameter is
not surrounded with curly  braces.  If you do  not supply a dimension, TEXT1
will print the  rule across the entire  width of the text.   By default, the
rule drawn has a thickness (height) of .4pt.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
If you wanted to draw a three inch rule across the page, followed later with
a rule across  the entire width of  the page and ending  with a thicker rule
across the width of the page you could specify:

    ã|Notes:ã%
Refer to The TEXbook for more on \hrule and how to use the "depth" parameter
with the "height" and "width" parameters.
    Use \rule instead of \hrule if you are using \monospace.
