A horizontal rule between two runs of content.

Before the break.

---

After it.

Canonical form is exactly three dashes, no spaces. ***, ___ and longer runs are read and become --- on the next save.

A divider carries no attributes of its own — there is no width, no tone and no align. It may be indented by the free-indent comment like any other block.

A --- line at the very top of a file opens the frontmatter and is not a divider; the first divider a document can hold stands after the frontmatter closes.
