<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I am at a loss to explain why this code (two lines—one sets up coordinates and the other wants a light gray horizontal rectangle at height 1—prints the former but not the latter. My commands
 mimick the example at the top of p. 382 in Herbert Voss’s PSTricks book (English edition). The console yields no error messages.
