Subject: Re: (dsssl) rules in headers/footers From: curt brune <curt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001 11:33:02 -0800 |
OK I started reading the ISO/IEC 10179:1996 spec. I now see I need to choose an orientation that results in the rule being inlined, i.e. the orientation needs to be either "escapement" or "line-progression". I tried using the following: (define (page-center-footer gi) (make rule orientation: 'escapement length: 7in line-thickness: 1pt ) ) But I get a *vertical* rule in my footer, not a horizontal rule. Sigh. I was encouraged that I figured out how to make an inline rule, too. I also tried it with an orientation of line-progression, but I get the same results. Is there some other orientation that results in an "inlined, horizontal" rule? I did not see any other characteristics that looked promising.
