how should hr's be written?

[notslang]

There's a whole bunch of styles for this, so it's probably worth defining one in the styleguide:

***
* * * * *
-------------------------

I'm pretty sure that a line of hyphens is the most common, but it's usually a random number of hyphens. Maybe we should define it as exactly 80 so it lines up with the wrap-guide? Or should it be something shorter like 40, 20, or 10? We could go as low as 3, but then it wouldn't look much like a horizontal rule.

Thoughts?

That's a great question. I realize 80 chars is kind of an outmoded way to think about these things, but I personally prefer that way since I often write in small tmux panes in vim and it just looks better.

@slang800 I can throw that into the style guide if you'd like or feel free to make your own pull request if you want to contribute 👍

Is it possible to solve this issue like this ?

I'd be cool with an 80 char line of hyphens as the standard way of writing an <hr>.

Okay, let's do that.
