# Horizontal Rule

## Import

```tsx
import { Hr } from '@dnb/eufemia/elements'
```

## Description

The `<hr />` tag in HTML stands for horizontal rule and is used to insert a horizontal rule or a thematic break in an HTML page to divide or separate document sections. The `<hr />` tag is an empty tag and it does not require an end tag.

## Customize hr color

```css
/* Example of how to change the line color */
.dnb-hr {
  --hr-color: var(--color-ocean-green);
}
```

## Horizontal Rule thickness tests

Browsers render borders differently. They also handle sizing differently. For example, `1.5px` will be rounded up to `2px` in Chromium-based browsers (on size-related CSS properties).

In order to address different solutions, [here is a test case](https://r8ljo.csb.app/) finding the right balance of creating `0.5px` / `1.5px` lines, browser compatibility, and correct look. As of 2020, Firefox does the best job of showing the line thickness correctly.

## Demos

### Horizontal Rule default

```tsx
Something
<Hr
  space={{
    top: '0.5rem',
    bottom: '0.5rem',
  }}
/>
Something
```

### Horizontal Rule dashed

```tsx
Something
<Hr
  dashed
  space={{
    top: '0.5rem',
    bottom: '0.5rem',
  }}
/>
Something
```

### Horizontal Rule in fullscreen

```tsx
Something
<Hr
  breakout
  space={{
    top: '0.5rem',
    bottom: '0.5rem',
  }}
/>
Something
```
