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

I find it easy to make an image of a line, and then insert it into the code as a "rule", setting the width and/or height as needed. These have all been horizontal-rule images, but there's nothing stopping me (or you) from using a "vertical-rule" image.

This is cool for many reasons; you can use different lines, colors, or patterns easily as "rules", and since they would have no text, even if you had done it the "normal" way using hr in HTML, it shouldn't impact SEO or other stuff like that. And the image file would/should be very tiny (1 or 2KB at most).
