General ⇒ Horizontal Line with adapted Width

[[v]]

Hello!

I'd like to know if it's possible to insert a horizontal line whose width is the same as the page content's width.

Example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amscd,amsthm}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\center
anything

\[x=a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}+a_{11}\]

Text..

\noindent\hrulefill %to be changed

Text..

\newpage

\[x=\sum_{p=1}^{11}a_p\]

text text text text text 

\noindent\hrulefill %to be changed

text
\end{document}

By using \noindent\hrulefill, the line's width is the same as the page's width (except margins).

Which LaTeX commands should I use to get this? (I used an image editor )

Page 1.

Page 2.

That is, the line's width is the width of the widest text/math line.

Is it possible?

Thank you!

Put the concerned content in to a minipage environment of a certain width. Or try the varwidth package which will adapt this width to the content.

Now it's perfect.
