[personal profile] aldro posting in [community profile] style_system
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!

Oh! I think I see what happened. My brain often just assumes that the context I'm thinking when I write something should be magically obvious to everyone in the universe everywhere, and I responded to just the bit about what display:block does. Without, of course, providing any indication at all that I was talking about just that. So, yes, of course, you're absolutely correct; block elements have margins, and the css [personal profile] blnchflr provided very nicely corrects the op's issue. But because my brain insists on believing my context is the only one that exists, I didn't even make the connection when you EXPLICITLY MENTIONED MARGINS that you were taking my comment as attaching to a different part of the parent comment than the part I intended.
