+## Horizontal rules
+
+The `<hr>` element has been simplified. Similar to browser defaults, `<hr>`s are styled via `border-top`, have a default `opacity: .25`, and automatically inherit their `border-color` via `color`, including when `color` is set via the parent. They can be modified with text, border, and opacity utilities.

 ## Lists
 
 All lists—`<ul>`, `<ol>`, and `<dl>`—have their `margin-top` removed and a `margin-bottom: 1rem`. Nested lists have no `margin-bottom`. We've also reset the `padding-left` on `<ul>` and `<ol>` elements.
