Layout and media

Divider

Add a divider panel when two groups of panels need a visual break that carries no text.

What you can do

orientation is horizontal or vertical; thickness (default 1) is in pixels and inset (default 0) shortens the rule by that many pixels from both ends.
style is solid, dashed, or dotted; color accepts a theme token such as {chart.series.1} or any CSS colour.
A divider has no text and no data; pair it with section when the break needs a label.

Applies to a divider panel; section with rule: true draws a labelled rule instead.
