20+ Best HTML hr CSS Designs (Horizontal Rules)

HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML describes the structure of a Web page. HTML consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content.

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