CSS

In CSS selectors, this command is called rule. Attributes marked “CSS property” can also be set with CSS; the attribute on the command takes precedence unless the CSS declaration is marked !important. The section CSS for layout commands describes further properties, precedence and inheritance.

Example 

<Record element="data">
  <PlaceObject>
    <Rule direction="horizontal" length="10" rulewidth="3"/>
  </PlaceObject>
</Record>
