How to make horizontal line in markdown

In this post, we will learn how to make a horizontal line in markdown.

In HTML, we can create a horizontal rule by using the <hr/> tag.

However, in markdown, we can create a horizontal rule by using 3 or more asterisks, underscores, or hyphens in a single line.

For example

asterisks
* * *
***
hyphens
- - -
---
underscore
_ _ _
___

If you are using markdown compilers to convert it to HTML, we will get

<p>asterisks</p>
<hr/>
<hr/>
<p>hyphens</p>
<hr/>
<hr/>
<p>underscore</p>
<hr/>
<hr/>
