This is a different use of ‘hr’: it works at the paragraph level, not on the heading level, as above. 4.5.2 Example 2 (Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton) The scene change, represented in the printed book by a gap containing a solitary centered star between the second and third paragraphs, is here represented using the hr element. In this case, again, ‘hr’ works like an anonymous subheading. Instead of <h1/><p/>…<hr/><p/>…<h1/>… one could have written <h1/><h2/><p/>…<h2/><p/>…<h1/>… just as well. The difference to the first part of the first example is that here all text belongs to a scene (‘h2’) and no text to the chapter (‘h1’) directly, whereas there the chapter had an introduction before the first sub-heading. In conclusion, ‘hr’ works either as an anonymous, implicit heading, usually one level lower than the last explicit one, or as a delayed paragraph end mark, which is below the lowest heading level. If we stripped it of the first function, it would fit where it is now, if we stripped it of its second function it would fit nicely with ‘h1’ through ‘h6’, but if it is left as is it fits neither place really. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
