title: Zettelmarkup: Horizontal Rules / Thematic Break role: manual tags: #manual #zettelmarkup #zettelstore syntax: zmk To signal a thematic break, you can specify a horizontal rule. This is done by entering at least three hyphen-minus characters (""''-''"", U+002D) at the first position of a line. You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]], although the horizontal rule does not support the default attribute. Any other characters in this line will be ignored. If you do not enter the three hyphen-minus character at the very first position of a line, the are interpreted as [[inline elements|00001007040000]], typically as an ""en-dash" followed by a hyphen-minus. Example: ```zmk --- ----{.zs-deprecated} ----- --- inline --- ignored ``` is rendered in HTML as :::example --- ----{.zs-deprecated} ----- --- inline --- ignored :::
