% Provides two macros to create english lines a.k.a. swelled rules (i.e.
% lines % that become thicker towards the middle, much like a very
% far-stretched diamond) that only use plain tex means.
%
% The macros provided are
% - \swrule{length}{maximum width}
% - \swrulex{length}{minimum width}{maximum width}
%
% The \swrule macro is just a shortcut for \swrulex{length}{0pt}{max width}.
%
% The minimum width is the width of the line at the far left and
% right ends, while the maximum width is the width of the line in
% the very middle.
%
% The english line is made up of many short lines of different widths.
% The counter variable \swrulecount specifies how many small line pieces
% should be used to approximate the english line. It is set to 50 by
% default. The larger this value is, the finer-grained the resulting
% english line will be, so that the steps will not be as obvious.
% The \swrulecount variable should never be set to one, as a division
% by zero would occur. Likewise, any value smaller than 1 is pointless,
% albeit possible.
%
% The style package is a quick hack. If any error should occur, then
% I would greatly appreciate learning about it.
% Likewise, any suggestion is appreciated.
%
% The style package is copyrighted but may be used and extended in
% any way, as long as a pointer to the original author is maintained.
% The author is not liable for any problem that may or may not result
% from using this package. Use at your own risk.
%
% Enjoy.
