Attribute for <HR ...>
WIDTH = "width expression"

Usage Recommendation
use it, but don't rely on it

WIDTH sets the horizontal width of the rule. You can express the size in pixels or as a percentage.

These <HR ...>'s are set with pixel widths: 

<HR WIDTH="50">
<HR WIDTH="100">
<HR WIDTH="300">

gives us

WIDTH is usually expressed as a percentage. If you use a percentage width, be sure to enclose the value in quotes. 

<HR WIDTH="25%">
<HR WIDTH="50%">
<HR WIDTH="100%">

gives us

The default is 100%. By default the rule is centered. To set a different alignment use ALIGN.

Percentage widths use the percentage of the available width, not the full width of the page. For example, if the rule is in a table then the width is a percentage of the width of the table cell. 

<TABLE BORDER> 
<TR>
<TD>Hey, whatever dude!
<HR WIDTH="50%">
A stitch in time saves nine
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE

gives us
Hey, whatever dude!
A stitch in time saves nine
