This is what I use. It puts a space, a centered 20% long line, and another space. It's very easy to use. And it looks better (IMHO) then three asterisks. I find the asterisks looks kind of cheap. Just like left justified, sans-serif body font, and paragraph spaces.
Code:
body {
widows: 1;
orphans: 1;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
text-align: justify;
}
hr {
margin-top: 1em;
margin-right: 40%;
margin-bottom: 0.9em;
margin-left: 40%;
border-top: 2px solid;
}
p {
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-indent: 1.2em;
}
.noindent {
text-indent: 0;
}
Code:
<p>Normally being pelted by a chocolate Easter egg wouldn’t be a big deal, but these weren’t chocolate. They’d made that mistake only once.</p>
<hr/>
<p class="noindent">A few years earlier, when the village of Three Pines first decided to have an egg hunt on Easter Sunday, there’d been great excitement. The villagers met at Olivier’s Bistro and over drinks and Brie they divvied
up bags of chocolate eggs to be hidden the next day. ‘Ooohs’ and ‘Aaaaahs’ tinged with envy filled the air. Would that they
were children again. But their pleasure would surely come from seeing the faces of the village children. Besides, the kids
might not find them all, especially those hidden behind Olivier’s bar.</p>
