//! Thematic break occurs in the [flow][] content type. //! //! ## Grammar //! //! Thematic break forms with the following BNF //! (see [construct][crate::construct] for character groups): //! //! ```bnf //! ; Restriction: all markers must be identical. //! ; Restriction: at least 3 markers must be used. //! thematic_break ::= *space_or_tab 1*(1*marker *space_or_tab) //! //! marker ::= '*' | '-' | '_' //! ``` //! //! As this construct occurs in flow, like all flow constructs, it must be //! followed by an eol (line ending) or eof (end of file). //! //! ## HTML //! //! Thematic breaks in markdown typically relate to the HTML element `
`. //! See [*§ 4.4.2 The `hr` element* in the HTML spec][html] for more info. //! //! ## Recommendation //! //! It is recommended to use exactly three asterisks without whitespace when //! writing markdown. //! As using more than three markers has no effect other than wasting space, //! it is recommended to use exactly three markers. //! Thematic breaks formed with asterisks or dashes can interfere with //! [list][list-item]s if there is whitespace between them: `* * *` and `- - -`. //! For these reasons, it is recommend to not use spaces or tabs between the //! markers. //! Thematic breaks formed with dashes (without whitespace) can also form //! [heading (setext)][heading_setext]. //! As dashes and underscores frequently occur in natural language and URLs, it //! is recommended to use asterisks for thematic breaks to distinguish from //! such use. //! Because asterisks can be used to form the most markdown constructs, using //! them has the added benefit of making it easier to gloss over markdown: you //! can look for asterisks to find syntax while not worrying about other //! characters. //! //! ## Tokens //! //! * [`ThematicBreak`][Name::ThematicBreak] //! * [`ThematicBreakSequence`][Name::ThematicBreakSequence] //! //! ## References //! //! * [`thematic-break.js` in `micromark`](https://github.com/micromark/micromark/blob/main/packages/micromark-core-commonmark/dev/lib/thematic-break.js) //! * [*§ 4.1 Thematic breaks* in `CommonMark`](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#thematic-breaks) //! //!
