Horizontal Line Options
The horizontal line is popular for Web documents. This document gives examples of the five basic horizontal line attributes. These attributes control the appearance of lines.
Instructions for customizing horizontal lines are given in the Horizontal Lines document.
The basic horizontal line looks like this:
Width
Width can be expressed as a number of pixels or as a percentage of the entire page width.
Width=25%
Width=50%
Width=75%
Height
Height is expressed as a whole number (in pixels) and controls the thickness of the line.
Height = 1
Height = 3
Height = 5
Alignment
Alignment places a line, which is less than 100% in width, on the page. You can align it with the left or right margin. The default is a centered alignment.
Aligned left
Aligned right
Shading
Shading gives your line depth, or a three-dimensional appearance. The default is a shaded line.
Shaded line (default)
Line without shade <HR SIZE=5 NOSHADE>
Combining Options
As you can see, combining some or all of the width, height, alignment, and shading attributes gives you many options for the use of lines on your page.
Width = 50%, Height = 5, Alignment = Left, Solid line (no shading).
Width = 50%, Height = 3, Alignment = Right
