Example 1: Single Horizontal Rule

What It Is

Horizontal rules divide sections of page content.

When to Use

When you want to break regions of the page into logical groupings.

Best Practices

The following guidelines should be followed when using horizontal rules:

  • Horizontal rules should always be used on page forms in place of fieldsets.
  • Horizontal rules should be used sparingly. In many cases logical page groupings can be achieved simply by effective use of headlines and paragraphs.
