Thematic : connected with the subject or subjects of something

As thematic means related to a particular subject, you can think of "thematic break" as change in current subject.

Consider an example :
You have a website that teaches people programming.

you'll have many sections on each page like:
1.header,
2.prerequisite / agenda for lesson,
3.learn section,
4.practice section,
5.comment section,
6.footer

after each section there is a change in topic or subtopic that you are discussing. In order to visualize this "change in topic" you can separate sections using <hr> tag.

In practical you may use color as main tool to describe such change but can sometimes need <hr> as well for semantics.

see :
https://medium.com/
on this site after 2nd "get started" button there is change in topic and an hr (horizontal line) like effect can be seen.

Answer 2

<hr> tag is thematic break between paragraph-level elements
<hr> is use for making horizontal line
Thematic break is <hr> meaning

I agree one should use searchbar before posting in qa.

also you should be careful to link only relevant threads.

5 out of 10 of your linked threads are asking "what is hr" which doesn't answer op's question.

1 of them has no answer.

in remaining 4 no one has really answered what 'thematic break' means but told that <hr> adds thematic break.

so basically 0 out of 10 are useful for OP.

Thank you~
