Hi all, I want two paragraphs separated by a rule which has the same distance to the preceding and the following line (yes, I know that this is fuzzy, it's just the optical impression that counts). I can't get my head around the \setuptextrules command, which should allow to do this. I tried this: \def\smallblank{\blank[line]} \def\bigblank{\blank[2*line]} \setuptextrules[inbetween=\bigblank, before=\bigblank ] but I realize that the before, after, and inbetween keywords either don't do what I want or plain do nothing. Could somebody explain what their expected behavior is (and if I should use a different approach than textrule?). Thanks Thomas
