Regular section break ---

A regular section break signals the end of a section visually, typically with a horizontal line on the webpage. A section that ends with a section break started with a section heading earlier. But you can also use regular section breaks to divide a text without any section headings into parts.

How to

A section break is simply marked by three hyphens --- in an otherwise empty line. A section break is block markup, so there usually needs to be a blank line before and after it.

Example

The section break in this example is displayed in a unique style.

For developers

When Aneamal is translated into a webpage, section breaks become HTML hr elements with a class attribute whose value is _h2:

<hr class='_h2'>

Browsers would display this as a horizontal rule by default, but you can change the appearance with CSS like in the example:

._h2 {
	all: unset;
	background: url(/stuff/separator.png) no-repeat center;
	display: block;
	height: 25px;
	margin: 1em 0;
}
