How to increase the width of the horizontal line using Markdown on GitHub

I am using the below code for drawing the horizontal line

"-----"

"***"

I want to change the color of the horizontal line plus change the height also.

How can I do this?

Use:

<hr style="border:2px solid blue">

Here the colour of the line has been changed as well. This method uses standard HTML markup and works much better than just "***".

Instead of using *** or ---, try:

<hr style="border:2px solid gray">

From the cheatsheet

Three or more...

Hyphens

---

Asterisks

***

Underscores

___

give you the same thing, which is the standard horizontal line.

You cannot style markdown, you get what you get. Github chooses the style.
