<title>Inserting a Rule in HTML</title>

<p>You can insert a horizontal line into the email (at the current position of the cursor) to help divide two sections:</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click <guiseq><gui>Insert</gui><gui>Rule...</gui></guiseq> in the menubar.</p></item>
<item><p>Select width, size, and alignment.</p></item>
<item><p>Select <gui>Shaded</gui> if wanted.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui>Close</gui>.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>Alternately, you can also use the <media type="image" src="./figures/html-composer-insert-rule.png" /> icon in the second bar below the <gui>Subject</gui> line.</p>
