Definition and Usage

The <hr> tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page (e.g. a shift of topic).

The <hr> element is used to separate content (or define a change) in an HTML page.

Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

In HTML 4.01, the <hr> tag represented a horizontal rule.

In HTML5, the <hr> tag defines a thematic break.

However, the <hr> tag may still be displayed as a horizontal rule in visual browsers, but is now defined in semantic terms, rather than presentational terms.

All layout attributes (align, noshade, size, and width) in HTML 4.01 was deprecated in HTML 4.01, and is not supported in HTML5. Use CSS to style the <hr> element instead.

Global Attributes

The <hr> tag also supports the Global Attributes in HTML5.

Event Attributes

The <hr> tag also supports the Event Attributes in HTML5.
