Hi! Suspect this isn't possible but thought I'd ask anyway: is there any way to round the caps on paragraph rules in the same as with strokes?

Thanks very much

You' re welcome... That was an easy one

Paragraph rules are not so restrictive as you might think, have a look here for a few examples of what can be done:

Just for comment: … with a "personalized" stroke!

… About the stroke length, 0.088 mm is enough!

Hi MDMuir,

It's possible.

You have to define  a custom stroke style with the Strokes panel first.

Then you could apply it to your paragraph style:
