of text. Rules Style options are 0 for Solid, 1 for Dotted, 2 for Dotted 2, 3 for
Dash Dot, 4 for All Dots, 5 for Double, 6 for Thin-Thick, 7 for Thick-Thin, 8
for Thin-Thick-Thin, 9 for Thick-Thin-Thick, and 10 for Triple. Shade is a
percentage. You can specify a rule’s offset value in points or as a percentage (#%).
For example, <*ra(4,5,"Blue",100,T12,12,50%)> would format a Rule
Above 4 points wide in the Double style, 100% Blue, indented 12 points From
Left and From Right (based on the first line of text), and Offset 50%.
Paragraph rule below : <*ra(##,#,"color name",#,##,##,## or •
##%)>. Values in parentheses represent Width, Style, “color name”, Shade,
From Left, From Right, and Offset. Enter rule widths and indents in points. You
can enter “T“ in front of the left indent value to base rule length on the first line
of text. Rules Style options are 0 for Solid, 1 for Dotted, 2 for Dotted 2, 3 for
Dash Dot, 4 for All Dots, 5 for Double, 6 for Thin-Thick, 7 for Thick-Thin, 8
