Sometimes it's 3 asterisks or bullets or tildes. The reason for this is that you can never know where the pages will break.
Also, realize that in novels, the paragraph after the blank space should not have the first line indented. JSWolf's example has it right (text-indent: 0).

I'm not a fan of * * *. Just doesn't look good. There are other things that can be used in a section break. But * * * just looks cheap.
