Adding a Horizontal Line

[AdamE]

Is there any easy way to add a horizontal line as a "break" in text?
I've looked at the \line command but keep getting errors whenever I
try to use it. Basically I'd like to have a text break like on a web
page when you insert a horizontal line using say FrontPage.

\line is used in picture environments.

You can get a horizontal rule across the page by using \hrule. But you'll
have to specify the vertical spacing you think appropriate before and after
the rule.

I wouldn't recommend using horizontal rules as breaks. Why don't you use
some nice dingbats to create a somewhat ornamental break?
