Horizontal rules!

In general, horizontal spacing should be added to a web page using styles (css). But sometimes you truly want a separator—a break between two sections of content.

You can accomplish this with a horizontal rule. Unfortunately, there is no Textile markup to create a horizontal rule, so you have to use the actual html tag: <hr />.

How to insert a horizontal rule

At the start of a blank line, type one or two spaces, and then type <hr />. For example, if I typed this:

I have a paragraph here about my morning.

  <hr />

Then time passed, and here I have a paragraph about 
my afternoon.

The result would look like this:

I have a paragraph here about my morning.

---

Then time passed, and here I have a paragraph about
my afternoon.

If you’re not happy with the way the horizontal rule looks on your site, it can be styled just like any other element. Just get in touch.
