Tag hr

The hr tag represents a thematic break in the content — often rendered as a horizontal line. It visually separates sections or topics in a webpage.


✅ Basic Syntax

<hr>
  • Self-closing tag (void element) — no closing tag needed.
  • It inserts a horizontal line across the width of its containing element.

🎯 Typical Use Cases

  • Separate paragraphs or sections
  • Indicate a shift in topic or scene
  • Visually organize content for better readability

🎨 Styling Example (CSS)

By default, <hr> appears as a simple gray line, but it can be styled:

hr {
border: none;
height: 2px;
background-color: #333;
margin: 20px 0;
}

⚠️ Notes

  • The <hr> tag is semantic, meaning it’s more than just a decorative line; it signals a thematic break in content.
  • Should be used thoughtfully — not just for decorative purposes.
