These are basically, respectively, horizontal and vertical orientations, but the rule is inlined rather than displayed. That means that it can be used in the middle of a paragraph like a character without automatically causing a break. > Even more, what is the "context" for the length: - characteristic > for these > cases? I assume you mean to ask what does the standard mean by "context" in the paragraph describing the length: characteristic. I don't know either; like the intended effect of language: and country:, this is one of the unclear parts of the standard. Of course, if the rule is displayed and horizontal, then the obvious interpretation is that the rule's length should equal the display-size. > Has anyone an example for this usage?

For example, if you want to draw a dash if some particular length, or a black box (a fat rule) as a mathematical symbol or a list bullet. --FC DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
