multicolrule - Decorative rules between columns

The multicolrule package lets you customize the appearance of the vertical rule that appears between columns of multicolumn text. It is primarily intended to work with the multicol package, hence its name, but it also supports the twocolumn option and \twocolumn macro provided by the standard classes (and related classes such as the KOMA-Script equivalents).

Installation

This package is provided as a .dtx file. To install it and compile the documentation at the same time, simply process the .dtx file with LaTeX (for example, pdflatex multicolrule.dtx). To extract the package only, process the file with TeX (tex multicolrule.dtx). Note that the documentation uses the l3doc class to index the code, and so to get the index, you must issue:

makeindex -s gind.ist -o multicolrule.ind multicolrule.idx

and to get the change list, you must issue

makeindex -s gglo.ist -o multicolrule.gls multicolrule.glo.

This package requires expl3 and xparse.
