Usage[edit]

This template inserts a black horizontal rule. It should be used in transcriptions in preference to wiki syntax "----", which inserts a rule but in a lighter colour. Furthermore there can be no certainty that the rendering of "----" will not change in the future. Please check for any [X]HTML 5 issues as well.

For example

{{rule}}

produces


The common case of a double-rule can be achieved by

{{rule}}{{rule}}

which produces




Width[edit]

A width may optionally be provided, in em or by % in which case a black horizontal rule of that width is centered on the line.

For example

{{rule|width=12em}}

and

{{rule|12em}}

both produce


Height[edit]

Height is provided by the named height parameter:

{{rule|height=3px}}

Alignment[edit]

In rare cases where the left or right alignment is required, the align parameter may be used.

For example

{{rule|6em|align=left}}

produces


Style[edit]

Finally, any desired special HTML styling may be applied through the style parameter.

For example

{{rule|width=12em|height=1em|style=background-color:orange;border:1px solid black}}

produces
