On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
dashrule
package.
It should soon be at your favorite mirror.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/dashrule 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 1.2 of dashrule fixes a bug (reported by Piazza Luca) that prevented hdashrule from working properly within a tabular cell and adds support for empty dash patterns for more consistency with PostScript's setdash command.
