So, I can add a horizontal line by just clicking on the insert html button (third from right), simply place nothing in the box, and click on Ok. Resulting in the following line

 

 

 

 

But, how do I actualy use the input box? Perhaps I am using the wrong conrext

 

 

<html> 
    <head> 
        <title>hr tag with attributes</title> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
        <p>Normal horizontal line.</p> 
        <hr> 
           
        <p>Horizontal line with height of 30 pixels</p> 
        <hr size="30"> 
           
        <p>Horizontal line with height of 30 pixels 
                                       and noshade.</p> 
        <hr size="30" noshade> 
    </body> 
</html> 

 

 

 or

 

hr {
width: 80%;
height: 8px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color:#666;
border: 0 none;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom:100px;
}

 

or 

 

 

width: 80%;
height: 8px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color:#666;
border: 0 none;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom:100px;

 

 

<hr style="border: 2px solid red;" />

    Correct answer GoldingD

    So, to anyone else who stumbles on this thread. Reading the answer from Nancy_OShea, who has the correct answer (can not see button to mark as correct)

     

    The button third from right in menu bar. The one that looks like </> Is not for inputting nice html code into a post, not for something like a nice red horizontal line, etc. But for a member with a question that has some sample code to place in the discussion, to accomplish that, placing it in a nice box.

     

    Reading the answer from Nancy, and revisiting the button (when you click on it the words “Insert/Edit cider sample” are presented, key word being sample) it now makes sense.

    That's not an <ht> rule.  It is an empty code input field.   Code input is for people who have scripting questions.  It doesn't render in the browser as anything other than plain code.

    Aha! If anyone is still as confused as I was, this question is not about ANY Adobe product, it’s about using the Adobe forums. I see no such button, probably because I’m on a phone.

    You should find the forum for whichever product this concerns and post your question(s) there.
    Here is a link to a page that has links to all Adobe forums...

    It's not an input box. It's just a box.
