Horizontal rule element (<hr />)

Horizontal rule is used to visually separate other elements within a document.

The vertical space between separated elements and the horizontal rule visualitions depend heavily on a browser's presentation and the way it renders them.

Horizontal rule is an empty tag, therefore the closing tag is forbidden.

Syntax:

<hr />

Attributes:

• id, class (document-wide identifiers)
• lang (language information), dir (text direction)
• title (element title)
• style (inline style information)
• onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover, onmousemove, onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup (intrinsic events)
