Text Formatting ⇒ Placing a horizontal line in text

[dkaplan]

Hi all,
I wish to place a horizontal line in a text separating a title from the rest of the text. For example

Blah Blah Blah
_________________________________________________________

more blah blah blah


I tried \rule but I end up with an error. This seems simple, but I have unable to figure out how to do this.
Thanks in advance,

David

Hi,

the following example shows some options:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\noindent Text

\noindent\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}

\vspace*{2cm}

\noindent Text

\noindent\rule[7pt]{\linewidth}{0.4pt}

\vspace*{2cm}

\noindent Text

\noindent\hrulefill

\end{document}
