Bonjour!
The bars drown with ---- are good to separate completely different part of a text, but we may enjoy to use also small bars (for exemple 100 pixel width) to separate paragraph.
What do you think about ----X---- where X is a width in pixel or the screen width percentage.
Wikipedia : ----100---- HTML : <hr align="center" width="100">
Wikipedia : ----50%---- HTML : <hr align="center" width="50%">
Can you please add this feature ? Where is the better place to speak about Wikipedia syntax ?
It's an interesting idea, but misguided in terms of interface principles (which isn't your fault, since it's been a problem with HTML since the introduction of Mosaic).
If you desire to format articles in a particular style, that should be done with stylesheets, not by explicitly declaring visual elements.
In other words, we should stylistic standards about using horizontal rules in Wikipedia articles first, then worry about implementation.
In general, for many (hopefully self-evident) reasons, Wikipedia style tends to the minimalistic.
