Horizontal Line Formatting?

[Akimbo]

Is it possible to format a horizontal line under a heading in posts similar to these in Wikipedia?

Example: Jacques Cousteau - Wikipedia

I didn't see the option in BB Codes | ScubaBoard but the lines that separate groups are similar.

Thanks

It would require custom BB code.

Oh well... I was sort of hoping you had a cool trick up you sleeve. Thanks.

What headings in post?

I would like to use horizontal lines that run under a heading within a post like this in HTML:
Horizontal Lines - HTML Tutorials for the Complete Idiot

Edit: I just noticed the "Complete Idiot" title of that link I pasted... that is what attracted ME to click the Google result and has NOTHING to do with you!

Is that just the underscore symbol "_"? The HTML <hr> symbol is physically closer to the text above and is smart enough not to "word wrap" on lower res displays.

Yes, just the underscore. I don't see an obvious way to embed HTML tags into posts on the forum software. If only we could.

If you were to keep the underscore line short enough it wouldn't word-wrap on most formats (may still on some telephones) and it could be made to come across as a style decision.

For example ^^^ a short fat line in the center of the screen could easily become a style element that would re-position itself for different screen formats.

Thanks all. I even tried copy and pasting from MS Word with the "full width underline"... is there a "FAIL" icon?

We don't support HTML in the forums since it's too easy to embed malicious code. We didn't on the old board either.

Try cutting/pasting from a text editor - Word does it's own formatting that's not compatible with the forum s/w.

There's a recent thread about it somewhere.
