Browser Support
The <hr> tag is supported in all major browsers.
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 HTML5, the <hr> tag defines a thematic break.
In HTML 4.01, the <hr> tag represents a horizontal rule.
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 are deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in HTML5. Use CSS to style the <hr> element instead.
Differences Between HTML and XHTML
In HTML, the <hr> tag has no end tag.
In XHTML, the <hr> tag must be properly closed, like this: <hr />.
