Hello,

I want to propose to make the redefinitions of \hrulefill and \dotfill in node 
19.10 '\hrulefill' & '\dotfill' more user-oriented, i.e. no '@' commands.

Current text:

   To change the rule's thickness, copy the definition and adjust it, as
here

     \renewcommand{\hrulefill}{%
       \leavevmode\leaders\hrule height 1pt\hfill\kern\z@}

which changes the default thickness of 0.4pt to 1pt.  Similarly, adjust
the dot spacing as with

     \renewcommand{\dotfill}{%
       \leavevmode\cleaders\hb at xt@1.00em{\hss .\hss }\hfill\kern\z@}

Proposed text:

   To change the rule's thickness, copy the definition and adjust it, as
here

     \renewcommand{\hrulefill}{%
       \leavevmode\leaders\hrule height 1pt\hfill\kern0pt }

which changes the default thickness of 0.4pt to 1pt.  Similarly, adjust
the dot spacing as with

     \renewcommand{\dotfill}{%
       \leavevmode\cleaders\hbox to 1.00em{\hss .\hss }\hfill\kern0pt }

With kind regards,
Pieter van Oostrum
