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 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, <*rb(2,0,C,50,6,18,30%)> would format a Rule Below 2 points
wide in the Solid style, 50% Cyan, indented 6 points From Left and 18 points From Right,
and Offset 30%.

*If a $ replaces any or all format codes (for example, <*t$>), the current paragraph style
sheet values are used. If a style sheet is not currently applied, the Normal style sheet is
used. All numeric values in these two commands are measured in points.
**Any or all of the format codes can be replaced by a $ to use the current style sheet's
definition, or by a 0 to specify no rule (for example, <*ra$> and <*ra0>).
