Page Layout ⇒ \hrule spacing

[casperyc]

Code: Select all

\hrule
SEMESTER 1 EXAMINATION 2009/10\\[2ex]
ACTUARIAL MATHEMATICS I\\[2ex]
Duration: 180 minutes\\
\hrule
Bla Bla 

spacing before the first \hrul is too small
and
after the 2nd hrule is to small as well

How do I make them 'nicer'?

Thanks

Edit: I initially misunderstood your question. You can produce a vertical skip by using a \vspace command:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\hrule\vspace{5mm}
\noindent SEMESTER 1 EXAMINATION 2009/10\\[2ex]
ACTUARIAL MATHEMATICS I\\[2ex]
Duration: 180 minutes\\
\hrule\vspace{5mm}
Bla Bla 

\end{document}

Of course, instead of 5mm you can use any valid length that suits your needs.
