Hi,

During code maintenance preparing for LibreOffice 4.0 the feature set for
Insert -> Horizontal Ruler...  for direct styling of the swrite component
was removed. This has caused some problems for  compatibility and
maintenance of  .ODT documents created in earlier versions.

These are not the <HR> or <HR  /> tags of HTML 4 or  XML markup.

The menu provides two kind of rulers. The first one "Plain" is a paragraph with paragraph style "Horizontal Line". In import and export filter for html this is transformed to a <hr> tag.

 Rather
these Horizontal Rulers function as paragraph separators. And while some
provisions of paragraph styles remains there has been a loss of ability to
incorporate a graphically pleasing separator.

That is the real problem. The graphics were collected in a gallery theme, that is no longer available.

The first kind of rulers, this "Plain" ruler, can still be made by applying the paragraph style "Horizontal Line". There is no need for a special menu item. But the way to use the paragraph style directly should be mentioned in release note and/or help.

For the ruler-graphics I suggest to again deliver this theme, to not break existing documents.

Kind regards
Regina
