Hi Alain,

I was curious and tried to run your code but got an error:


Did you remove all the blank lines that are seen in the email?

This tends to happen when a message is submitted from a PC, (with <CR><LF> )
and read on a Mac/Unix .
Both characters can be translated into <LF> which causes the blank line
resulting in  \par  within TeX source.



Runaway argument?
{\tikz [remember picture,overlay]{
./MarginRules.tex:10: Paragraph ended before \AddEverypageHook was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.10

?
Process aborted

Now I am even more curious!

Regards

I received the following on Stack Exchange and it does what I want with a little tweaking. Thanks for the suggestions.

Tim

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{everypage}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}% MWE only



\AddEverypageHook{\tikz[remember picture,overlay]{%


\ifodd\value{page}\draw ($(current page text area.north west)+(-0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)

   --
($(current page text area.south west)+(-0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
;

\else\draw ($(current page text area.north east)+(0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)

   --
($(current page text area.south east)+(0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
;

\fi}}



I'd gess that this is what is really meant:

\AddEverypageHook{\tikz[remember picture,overlay]{%
\ifodd\value{page}\draw ($(current page text area.north west)+(-0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
   --
($(current page text area.south west)+(-0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
;
\else\draw ($(current page text area.north east)+(0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
   --
($(current page text area.south east)+(0.5\marginparsep,0pt)$)
;
\fi}}

Just a thought: have you looked at tcolorbox? (e.g. Border Line Option Keys)
