Usage
This template inserts a black horizontal rule. It should be used in transcriptions in preference to wiki syntax "----", which inserts a rule but in a lighter colour. Furthermore there can be no certainty that the rendering of "----" will not change in the future. Please check for any [X]HTML 5 issues as well.
For example
{{rule}}
produces
The common case of a double-rule can be achieved by
{{rule}}{{rule}}
which produces
Template:Double rule may be used as shorthand for this.
Width
A width may optionally be provided, in em or by % in which case a black horizontal rule of that width is centered on the line.
For example
{{rule|width=12em}}
and
{{rule|12em}}
both produce
Height
Height is provided by the named height parameter:
{{rule|height=3px}}
Alignment
In rare cases where the left or right alignment is required, the align parameter may be used.
Example
{{rule|6em|align=left}}
produces
Top/bottom margins
If the rule has wider padding around it, this can be set with margin_tb:
Example
{{center| Foo {{rule|margin_tb=2em}} Bar }}
produces
Foo
Bar
Class
This template applies the class(es)
that can be targeted with a work's index styles.css using page styles
