<hr>: The Thematic Break (Horizontal Rule) element

The HTML <hr> element represents a thematic break between paragraph-level elements: for example, a change of scene in a story, or a shift of topic within a section.

Historically, this has been presented as a horizontal rule or line. While it may still be displayed as a horizontal rule in visual browsers, this element is now defined in semantic terms, rather than presentational terms, so if you wish to draw a horizontal line, you should do so using appropriate CSS.

This element's attributes include the global attributes.

align

Sets the alignment of the rule on the page. If no value is specified, the default value is left.

color

Sets the color of the rule through color name or hexadecimal value.

noshade

Sets the rule to have no shading.

size

Sets the height, in pixels, of the rule.

width

Sets the length of the rule on the page through a pixel or percentage value.
