CTAN Update: dashrule
by CTAN Announcements 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the dashrule package. Summary description: Draw dashed rules License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's ule and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. Version 1.3 fixes a small bug that introduced spurious spaces into the output. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule .
