+ | DASHRULE: Dashed rules in LaTeX |
+ | By Scott Pakin, scott+dash@pakin.org |
+ +--------------------------------------+
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+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 \rule and PostScript's
+setdash command. \hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the
+same syntax as \rule, 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 \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.
