How to Create a Line Separator in WordPress
When you write for your WordPress website, you may occasionally create lengthy posts that you would like to divide into multiple sections for readability. A horizontal line is one way to cleanly mark sections of a post. However, you may have scanned the buttons at the top of the WordPress text editor and noticed that none of the buttons creates a horizontal line. You can create a line separator in WordPress by typing an HTML tag in the post editor.
