  How to Insert Horizontal Line

To create a simple straight line on a page horizontal line is used. It is basically c graphical image which acts as dividers and separates pages into sections. It generally provides the different types of visual separation which clearly defines the sections of a page. The tag which is used to insert the horizontal line is <hr> tag. It can be of different lengths and sizes.  

 Horizontal lines are the following: 

• Lines with different widths.
• Lines with different thickness.
• Lines without 3D shading.  

The following attributes of horizontal <hr> tag are used to create the different I types of horizontal lines:  

 Width

The line width is specified by the width attribute of <hr>tag. To create the horizontal line with different width, the following syntax is used:

<hr width = x>

or

<hr width= y%>

 Size

The length of a line is specified by the size attribute of <hr>tag. To create the horizontal line with different size, the following syntax is used:

<hr size=n>

 Align

The alignment of the line indicates by the align attribute of <hr>tag. The syntax which is used to create the horizontal line with the different alignment is the following:

<hr align ="center/left/right">

 Shading

To display a horizontal line without 3D shading effect the noshade attribute is used inside the <hr> tag.

 Color

The colour of the horizontal line is defined by the colour attribute of <hr>tag. In two ways the value of colour attribute can be assigned: by colour code or by colour name in RGB (Red Green Blue). The following syntax is used to create the coloured horizontal line:

<hr color="color name/color code">

 How to Use Line Break

To break a line, the line break is used. Whenever you need to break a line the < br>tag is used to break it in paragraph, but a new paragraph is not started by this. Without using the additional space you can create a new line by using <br>tag.

The order number can be alphabetical or numeric and that can be either a lower case 01 upper case. By using <ol> tag ordered list is created. With the <li> tag, the items of list are created.

The following syntax is used for creating an ordered list:

<ol>

<li> item 1</li>

<li> item 2>/li>

</ol>

 How to Create Unordered List

The list which appears as a list of items and bullets and the items are presented separately comes under the unordered lists. To create the unordered lists of items the <ul> tag is used and <li> tag is used to create the elements.

The following is the syntax which is used to create the unordered list:

<ul>

<li> list item 1 </li>

<li> list item 2 </li>

</ul>
