General ⇒ How to change the tickness of \hrulefill ?

[yoyoimut]

Hi,

I want to change the tickness of \hrulefill to 0.01pt.

How to do that?

If it is impossible, I have another idea, i.e., using \rule{width}{0.01pt}.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to get the width of \hfill.


Thank you in advance.


regards,

Yuko.

Hi,

the following command lets you control the height of the rule while having variable width, as the standard \hrulefill:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}

\makeatletter
  \def\vhrulefill#1{\leavevmode\leaders\hrule\@height#1\hfill \kern\z@}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

text \vhrulefill{3pt} text

text \vhrulefill{10pt} text

text \vhrulefill{1pt} text

\end{document}

Thanks gmedina.

Perfectly done.

How could one define \vhrulefil using just actual LaTeX commands and not any lower-level TeX commands?l
