and whose thickness can be adjusted if desired. The rule appears on a line of its own, creating a line break if used mid-paragraph.
Usage
editFor the default appearance, insert {{hr}} where you want the horizontal rule to appear. Text before {{hr}} will appear above the rule, and text after it below.
To change the rule's thickness, use {{hr|height}}, where height is the thickness in pixels: for example {{hr|2}} creates a rule two pixels thick.
- To make the rule thicker than the default, use a value bigger than 1.
- To make it thinner than the default, use a value smaller than 1.
- The thickness need not be a whole number.
- Enter just the number; don't add a unit such as
pxoremafter it.
Examples
edit(The horizontal rule produced by each of these examples is the one immediately below it. Any rule above it belongs to the preceding example.)
{{hr|0.5}}sets the thickness to 0.5 pixels, creating a very thin line:{{hr}}uses the default thickness, which is 1 pixel:{{hr|3}}sets the thickness to 3 pixels:{{hr|5}}sets the thickness to 5 pixels:- Placing the template within a line of text,
like {{hr}} this,

Alternatives
editA horizontal rule with the default appearance can also be produced by
- typing four hyphens
----on a new line, or by - using an HTML
<hr />tag.
The template simply inserts the HTML tag and gives it a style= attribute if the thickness is specified. For example, {{hr|3}} adds <hr style="height:3px" /> to the HTML for the page.
