+ <tt>\rule[raise-height]{width}{height}</tt>
+<p>
+
+ The <tt>\rule</tt> command generates a rectangular "blob of ink."
+ It can be used to produce horizontal or vertical lines. The arguments
+ are defined as follows.
+ <ul>
+ <li><TT>raise-height</TT> specifies how high to raise the rule (optional)
+ <li><TT>width</TT> specifies the length of the rule (mandatory)
+ <li><TT>height</TT> specifies the height of the rule (mandatory)
+ </ul>
+ The default value for <tt>raise-height</tt> is zero; a negative value
+ lowers the rule.
+<p>
+ The reference point of the rule box is the lower left-hand corner.
+<p>
+ A rule box of zero width may be used as a "strut" which is invisible but
+ which causes LaTeX to adjust veritcal spacing to leave room. This can
+ be particularly useful where the
+ <a href="ltx-347.html"><tt>\vspace</tt></a> command cannot be used,
+ for example, within <a href="ltx-115.html">mathematical formulas</a>.
+<p>
+ The <tt>\rule</tt> command is <a href="fragile.html">fragile</a>.
