The horizontal line provides the end of the given part in the HTML given part from the following part. HTML provides the <hr> tag which is a short form of horizontal in order to create horizontal lines.
<hr> Tag
Before HTML 5 the <hr> tag can have attributes like width , align , size but their are became absolute with the HTML5. But all of these attribute functions are provided with the CSS where we will examine them below.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. </body> </html>
