Do not forget +to run the texhash or mktexlsr filename indexer program +after installation, otherwise the files will not be findable. + +USAGE + +Add this line to the Preamble of your LateX document: + + \usepackage[options]{decorule} + +Read the documentation for the options available. + + +BUGS + +None known of. + + +COPYRIGHT + +%% decorule.* +%% Copyright © 2010-2011 by Peter Flynn <peter@silmaril.ie> +% +% This work may be distributed and/or modified under the +% conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either +% version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later +% version.
