Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally +using \rule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript \specials) they are fully +compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. + + +Installation +------------ + +There's nothing special about building dashrule: + + latex dashrule.ins <== Generate dashrule.sty + latex dashrule.dtx <== Produce the documentation (dashrule.dvi) + makeindex -s gind.ist dashrule <== Generate an index + latex dashrule.dtx <== Incorporate the index into the document + +If you're new to this, see +http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages for more +information on installing packages. + + +Copyright and license +--------------------- + +Copyright (C) 2013 Scott Pakin, scott+dash@pakin.org + +This package may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions +of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this +license or (at your option) any later version.
