How to Add + Style Horizontal Lines

Organize your text with horizontal lines

Horizontal lines help editorial teams build content that is both visually appealing and structurally solid as they break up articles into clear and understandable sections that audiences can easily identify.

Horizontal lines are easy to add and style using our Entry Editor and our Layout & Design tool. From Entry Editor, simply click the Horizontal Line icon in the toolbar and a horizontal demarcation will be placed within your text.



How to Style Horizontal Lines for Articles

If you want to style your horizontal line for a specific look, add the following CSS to your Top Bar element in Layout & Design tool:

.body .horizontal-rule {
      border-top: $Width $Style $Color; 
  }

The following example shows a horizontal line styled in red:

To add styling for AMP, the same code snippet called out above in this article should be added to your AMP post page in a Custom HTML element.

This is an example of how a styled horizontal line looks in a live Google AMP article:
