Re: Problem with Horizontal line exceeding page margins

I imagine nothing is wrong with it :)

I just wasn't aware of that command. I only started using lout a couple of
days ago and I got that definition of HLine from the Expert's Guide. I now
see that @FullWidthRule is mentioned once in the User's Guide, but it's
buried in an unrelated section on appendixes.

Thanks Mark, I will try this new command.
