lined

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ruled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for lined that I've seen before include "Of face, marked with creases and wrinkles" , "Strengthened" , "Creased" , "Ruled - wrinkled" , "Marked by seams or wrinkles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
