The simplest element you can add to a web page is a horizontal rule, plopped into
place with the<hr>tag. In most browsers, horizontal rules display by default as
an “embossed” shaded rule that extends across the full width of the browser
window (or available text space). Horizontal rules are used as simple dividers,
breaking an otherwise long scroll into manageable chunks.
