docs	Vertical rule	Use the custom vertical rule helper to create vertical dividers like the `<hr>` element.	helpers	true	version 5.1

How it works

Vertical rules are inspired by the <hr> element, allowing you to create vertical dividers in common layouts. They're styled just like <hr> elements:

• They're 1px wide
• They have min-height of 1em
• Their color is set via currentColor and opacity

Customize them with additional styles as needed.

Example

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

Vertical rules scale their height in flex layouts:

{{< example >}}

{{< /example >}}

With stacks

They can also be used in [stacks]({{< docsref "/helpers/stacks" >}}):

{{< example class="bd-example-flex" >}}

First item

Second item

Third item

{{< /example >}}

CSS

Sass variables

Customize the vertical rule Sass variable to change its width.
