 Often images are used to represent context breaks. Images are a suboptimal way to indicate a context change because they carry no semantic information.
-Although not ideal, our solution is to replace context breaks with three asterisks ''***'' (using Normal style, i.e., no need to centre-align) in the e-text document. The asterism is a traditional way to indicate minor breaks in text. (In HTML5, the [[https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-hr-element|<hr> tag]] is used to indicate a thematic paragraph-level break in text)
+For all context breaks, remove decorative image or content break and insert horizontal line.
-Sometimes decorative breaks come right before or after a new section (heading). In these cases, we do not need to replace it, rather we can just remove it entirely since the headings imply thematic changes themselves.
+  * Go to the Home Section of the Ribbon Menu
+  * Select the dropdown menu for ''Borders''
+  * Select ''Horizontal line''
+This will convert to the <hr class="transition"> tag in EPUB.
