Line in Entries

[aldro]

I sometimes post a line (code is <hr>) in my entries to seperate topics and I noticed that the line doesn't spread out over the entire lenght of my entry holder, like it should and does in some of my friend's posts. I don't know if that's due to some code in my CSS or if there's another reason for this. However, I would like to change it. Does anybody know how?

P.S. I don't have an example image, but I can make one if necessary. Thanks in advance!

not actually sure what display: block does for a horizontal line

My guess: it separates it presentation-wise from the rest of the style elements. So it doesn't wrap into sentences above and below it, for example. And so you can set margins for it so it won't hang right under the last sentence and right over the next one (because the point of hr is to put lots of space between your last set of thoughts and your next, within one post - to change the subject entirely, in other words).
