The Horizontal Line

What you just saw was a horizontal line. And the code is VERY difficult...ready?!

<HR>

Pretty basic, eh? (oh yeah...please remember that HTML codes don't have to be in capitals...I just do that here so they're easier to distinguish). However, there are several attributes to this simple tag, such as:

size: the thickness of the line (in picas)
color (only with Internet Explorer...check COLORS for codes)
width: length you want the line to be- in picas (if you don't specify, it goes all the way across the screen)
align: alignment (right, left or center)
noshade: a solid line

So...

<HR size="6" color="#FF0000" width="18" align="left" noshade> gives us:

Of course, you don't need to use all the attributes at once, and these are extremes!
