In a speech based user agent, the tag could be rendered as a pause.
attribute name | possible values | meaning | notes |
---|---|---|---|
ALIGN | LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER | horizontal alignment of the rule | default is CENTER |
NOSHADE | NOSHADE | requests the rule to be rendered in a solid color | as opposite to the traditional two-color "groove" |
SIZE | integer | height of the rule, in pixels | |
WIDTH | width specification | width of the rule |
All of these attributes are deprecated in HTML 4.0
<P> Some text, followed by a basic (default) horizontal rule. </P> <HR> <P> Some other text. </P>
<P> A horizontal rule placed at the right and half the width of the document layout: </P> <HR ALIGN="RIGHT" WIDTH="50%"> <P> An example with all possible spices: placed at left, solid rule (no shading), height 5 pixels, width 100 pixels: </P> <HR ALIGN="LEFT" NOSHADE SIZE=5 WIDTH=100>
It is usually better to use a percentage specification than absolute number of pixels. The user's window might be very different from yours.
