Hello
Why do I get a "Misplaced \noalign" error message when I use \hline outside the tabular environment?

\begin{document}
  \hline
  Hello, \TeX{}-perts!
  \hline
\end{document}

I'm a MikTeX 2.7 user.

Thx.

It is simply not allowed to use this command outside a tabular environment. Replace \hline with \hrule and it will work.
