When your web site includes horizontal rules you can use CSS code to change their color, height and width. In this case for example the CSS code is the following:

File test.css

hr {

border: none;

background-color: #E6E6E6;

color: #000000;

height: 2px;

width: 70%;

}

You can use the next file to test:

 

File test.html

<h1>Economy Set for Better Times Whether Obama or Romney Wins</h1>

<p>Mitt Romney says Barack Obama&#39;s policies will consign the U.S. to an extended period of sluggish economic growth, at best. The president says his Republican challenger&#39;s plans will sow the seeds of another mammoth recession. Both are wrong.</p>

<hr></hr>

<p>No matter who wins the election tomorrow, the economy is on course to enjoy faster growth in the next four years as the headwinds that have held it back turn into tailwinds. Consumers are spending more and saving less after reducing household debt to the lowest since 2003. Home prices are rebounding after falling more than 30 percent from their 2006 highs. And banks are increasing lending after boosting equity capital by more than $300 billion since 2009.</p>
