Organizing with Horizontal Rules (lines)
Learn how to place horizontal rules in your documents.

Create a horizontal rule with the <HR> tag.


Typically the <HR> tag is placed on a line by itself, like this
<HR>

You can make your rules fancier.
<HR ALIGN=CENTER NOSHADE SIZE=5 WIDTH="80%">
displays as


which is a centered horizontal rule without 3D shading that is 5 pixels tall and 80% of the width of the screen.

<HR ALIGN=CENTER NOSHADE SIZE=10 WIDTH="300">
diplays as


The attributes are described in more depth below.

ALIGN
Can have the value LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT.
NOSHADE
The NOSHADE attribute can stand alone--it has no additional value--and it will render the rule in a solid color rather than its default, 3D-shaded appearance.
SIZE=n
Where n is the height of the rule in pixels.
WIDTH=n%
Where n is the width of the rule expressed as a percentage of the total screen width.
WIDTH=n
Where n is the width of the rule in pixels.
