Is there a vr (vertical rule) in html?

Question

I know there is a hr (horizontal rule) in html, but I don\'t believe there is a vr (vertical rule). Am I wrong and if not, why isn\'t there a vertical rule?

Answer 1

Ancient question but I solved this with display:flex; and it works great:

    

        This is a div
    
    

    

        This is another div

This solution also doesn't require fixed height.
