The manual says (p.204): \starttextrule[.1.]{.2.}...\stoptextrule .1. top bottom .2. text But parameter [.1.] is not picked up and the code in core-rul.tex is: \def\starttextrule#1% instead of the expected \def\starttexrule{\dosingleargument \dostarttextrule} etc. Is this a deliberate change from the manual, so that I can cross out the parameter [.1.] there, or something else?
