is not required as the
Thanks for the details. I got into the habit of using the paragraph tag on the horizontal rule tag because it makes for a greater spacing between the HR and the next line.
<p align=right> Justifies the text to the right
<p align=center> Justifies the text to the center
<p align=left> The default position, aligns the test to the left (it's not neccessary to use the align tag here)
This is one of the rare instances where it's a good idea to use the </p> to avoid right justified or centered text.
