\textrule[top] does
before
----------- (rule)
inbetween
\textrule[bottom] does
inbetween
----------
after
\textrule with no argumet is equal to \textrule[bottom]
There is a \domiddletextrule that does
inbetween
------------
inbetween
but this is not interfaced with \textrule. It only becomes active
inside a \starttextrule.
\starttextrule{whatever}
\input knuth
\textrule
\input knuth
\stoptextrule
To use this, you can define your own rule as
\def\midtextrule{\dosinglegroupempty\domiddletextrule}
\setuptextrules[inbetween={\blank[big]}]
And midtextrule will use inbetween on both side.
Hans, does it make sense to add this to core-rul?
\def\complextextrule[#1]%
{\processaction
[#1]
[ \v!top=>\let\next\dotoptextrule,
\v!bottom=>\let\next\dobottomtextrule,
middle=>\let\next\domiddletextrule, %<------- Added
\s!default=>\let\next\dobottomtextrule,
\s!unknown=>\let\next\dobottomtextrule]%
\dosinglegroupempty\next}
