Horizontal Rule

Insert a horizontal separator between blocks.

Setup

Start with the packages in Getting Started. This complete example registers the feature and renders its UI. In an existing editor, merge the imports and extension entries into your setup, and place the controls inside your existing RichTextProvider.

tsx
'use client';

import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import { Document } from '@tiptap/extension-document';
import { Paragraph } from '@tiptap/extension-paragraph';
import { Text } from '@tiptap/extension-text';
import { RichTextProvider } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor';
import { HorizontalRule, RichTextHorizontalRule } from 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/horizontalrule';
import 'reactjs-tiptap-editor/style.css';

const extensions = [Document, Paragraph, Text, HorizontalRule];

export default function HorizontalRuleExample() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    extensions,
    content: '<p>Try this feature here.</p>',
    immediatelyRender: false,
  });

  if (!editor) return null;

  return (
    <RichTextProvider editor={editor}>
      <RichTextHorizontalRule />
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
    </RichTextProvider>
  );
}

How to use

Place the cursor where the separator should appear, then click the toolbar button. The command is editor.chain().focus().setHorizontalRule().run(). Add Tiptap’s TrailingNode if you want a paragraph automatically created after a trailing non-paragraph block.

Options

shortcutKeys

Type: string[]
Default: ['mod', 'alt', 'S']

Shortcut labels shown by the controls. See keyboard shortcut configuration to change actual key bindings.
