hr Summary

The hr element represents a paragraph-level thematic break in text.

Overview Table

DOM Interface: HTMLHRElement

The hr element represents a paragraph-level thematic break. That sounds kinda strange, I know, but a good example what that means comes from the world of fiction where the text in a given chapter might shift from one location to another or from one period of time to another. The hr is a great way to indicate a shift like that.

Examples

This example uses the hr element to create a paragraph-level thematic break.

<p>This is a paragraph in a section about Topic A.</p>
<hr/>
<p>This paragraph is part of a section concerning Topic B.</p>

Usage

 The hr element is a “replaced element” which means it is comprised of a single tag with no content. You can apply attributes (e.g. class) to the tag, but it must not contain text.

As a replaced element, the hr will be automatically closed by browsers, but you can also explicitly close the element with a trailing slash: <hr/>

Notes

In HTML 4.01, the hr element represented a horizontal rule. And while the hr element may still be displayed as a horizontal rule in visual browsers, it is now defined in semantic terms, rather than presentational ones.
