 * In the edit -> page section of wordpress, one time I accidently inserted a page
   break type of effect on the page. It created a line of dashes, for instance:
 * ———–
 * I would like to be able to figure out how to do this on command? Here is an image
   showing an example in application.

 * The image you’ve posted looks like you’re looking for a horizontal rule, which
   is a line across the content. The html tag is `<hr />`. Read more here: [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hr.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hr.asp)
 * There’s no button in the standard WordPress menu to add a horizontal rule, so
   you have to switch to the “text” tab in the editor and add it to the code there
   to get it to appear.
