[comp.text] Help with headline in TeX

cotner@brahms.berkeley.edu (Carl Cotner) (11/08/88)

I'm working on a document in TeX, and I've run into a problem which
I hope some of you out there can help me with.  It's a problem
dealing with the \headline macro in TeX. For even-numbered pages, I
would like to have a \headline which includes
		[Section Number of document]\hfil[title of section]
and right below that, I would also like to draw a \hrule across
the top and then leave a little vertical space.

An example would be soem thing like this:

	Section 2.3				Rites of Passage
 	--------------------------------------------------------
		^
		|a little vertical space to separate header from
		|document (that is a little more than what TeX 
		v 	    usually provides)

Does anyone have a solution as to what to put in the \headline
to format it this way?

Thanks,
Carl
