Page Layout ⇒ Horizontal Line spanning the complete Page

[butek]

How can I put a horizontal line without page margins?

Hi Butek,

You can draw a horizontal line using \rule{width}{height}. E.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\begin{document}
  Before line \rule{40pt}{1pt} after line.
\end{document}

HTH,

To draw an horizontal line spanning the page, you can use the \rule command with a width equal to the width of the page (\paperwidth). But don't forget to put it in a \makebox. Without that, the line will not go through the left margin. For example :

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

\begin{document}
 \noindent\makebox[\linewidth]{\rule{\paperwidth}{.4pt}}  % 0.4pt is the default thickness
\end{document}
