### Examples

* #### Separate content sections with a divider

  ##### Description

  Separate content sections using a divider component. This example shows a basic horizontal divider.

  ##### Default

  ```HTML
  <s-divider />
  ```

## Properties

Configure the following properties on the divider component.

* **direction**

  **'inline' | 'block'**

  **Default: 'inline'**

  The direction in which children are laid out using logical properties:

  * `'block'`: Vertical arrangement along the block axis (typically top to bottom) without wrapping
  * `'inline'`: Horizontal arrangement along the inline axis (typically left to right) with automatic wrapping when space is insufficient

* **id**

  **string**

  A unique identifier for the element used for targeting with CSS, JavaScript, or accessibility features.

## Best practices

* **Choose appropriate direction:** Use `inline` (horizontal) for most content separation. Use `block` (vertical) for columns or sidebar boundaries.
* **Avoid overuse:** Use dividers strategically. In dense interfaces, consider whitespace or typography hierarchy instead.
