Page Layout ⇒ horizontal rule

[Willie]

I want to produce two horizontal rules as in the picture
I tried to use a \newline and a \vspace with negative height to compensate for the too-big space between text lines, but it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\myline}{\noindent\rule{\textwidth}{2pt}\newline\vspace{-0.9\baselineskip}\rule{\textwidth}{0.1pt}}

\begin{document}
	This is a rule
	\myline
	This is an after-text
\end{document}

How should I do it?

I ran into this problem with one of my templates (the newsletter, here). I fixed it as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\myline}{\par\noindent%	
						\rule{\linewidth}{1pt} \\[-0.75\baselineskip]%
						\rule{\linewidth}{2pt}%
						}
\begin{document}
   This is a rule
   \myline
   This is an after-text
\end{document}
