The asterisk (/ ˈ æ s t ər ɪ s k / *), from Late Latin asteriscus, from Ancient Greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, "little star", [1] [2] is a typographical symbol. It is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.
In SGML, HTML and XML documents, the logical constructs known as character data and attribute values consist of sequences of characters, in which each character can manifest directly (representing itself), or can be represented by a series of characters called a character reference, of which there are two types: a numeric character reference and a character entity reference.
If the gap is between a colon list and an asterisk list, there is no issue, as the HTML is identical with or without the blank line.

In HTML, horizontal rules can be generated using the <hr> tag, which generates a paragraph-level thematic break. For more ornate presentation, CSS can be used to replace the line with an image. [citation needed] The <section> tag may be used in semantic HTML to mark part of a webpage as a section. [7]
