% \labeledrule[width]{Top}{Bottom} | |
% | |
% Useful for creating forms. The text above the rule is aligned to the | |
% surrounding baseline. A zero-width box contains the top label. The second | |
% command takes the bottom label and lowers it by \baselineskip, then packs it | |
% into a box with width zero, height of 1 em, and depth of \baselineskip plus | |
% the depth of the bottom label text. The height of the rule (0.4pt) is TeX's | |
% hard-coded height for \hrule. | |
