hr-Tag for Horizontal Lines

---

Horizontal rules are used to visually break up sections of a document. The

---

tag creates a line from the current position in the document to the right margin and breaks the line accordingly.

For example you may want to give a line between two paragraphs as follows:

This is paragraph one and should be on top

This is paragraph two and should be at bottom

This will produce following result:

This is paragraph one and should be on top

---

This is paragraph two and should be at bottom

Again

---

tag is an example of an empty element, where you do not need opening and closing tags, as there is nothing to go in between them.
