tall, respectively.
<hr size=12>
<hr size=36>
<hr size=72>
The
size
attribute is deprecated in HTML 4 and XHTML because you can
achieve its effects with appropriate use of stylesheets.
5.1.1.2. The noshade attribute
You may not want a 3D rule line, preferring a flat, 2D rule. Just add the
noshade
attribute to the
<hr>
tag to eliminate the 3D effect. No value is
required with HTML. Use
noshade="noshade"
with XHTML.
Note the difference in appearance of a "normal" 3D rule versus the
noshade
2D one in
Figure 5-3
. (We've also exaggerated the rule's thick-
ness for obvious effect, as evident in the source HTML fragment.)
