+Abbreviation: ã|noneã%
+
+Parameters: ã|dimensionã%
+
+ ã|Description:ã%
+The \hrule markup draws a horizontal rule across the width of the page. It
+is a native TEX markup, and the usage is different in that the parameter is
+not surrounded with curly braces. If you do not supply a dimension, TEXT1
+will print the rule across the entire width of the text. By default, the
+rule drawn has a thickness (height) of .4pt.
+
+ ã|Example:ã%
+If you wanted to draw a three inch rule across the page, followed later with
+a rule across the entire width of the page and ending with a thicker rule
+across the width of the page you could specify:
+
+\nin Basic Techniques
+
+\hrule width 3in
+Editing a File
+\hrule
+The Column Pointer
+\vs{2pt}
+\hrule height 2pt

+You would get:

+ ã|Notes:ã%
+Refer to The TEXbook for more on \hrule and how to use the "depth" parameter
+with the "height" and "width" parameters.
+ Use \rule instead of \hrule if you are using \monospace.
