I went back and edited my first post clarifying the exact position I meant by highlighting.
Not too sure how you would accomplish that with a single cell. (Perhaps you were talking about the "CHAPTER IV", and yes, that was handled with top/bottom borders via CSS, and I can see that being accomplished also with a table cell).

Indeed. Typically I chop out a lot of this fluff (this particular case is me just cleaning up a previously converted EPUB, removing unnecessary fonts, images of tables -> actual HTML tables, images of greek text -> digital text, etc. etc.).
In this case, it doesn't really matter if this fluff in the EPUB doesn't appear in the old MOBI version, as long as it just degrades gracefully and works fine in ADE.
The simple em dashes on either side would work just fine for my purposes (anything would be better than those images!
)... but I was just wondering if anyone had any other input/thoughts/code.
Only downside I can see of the em dash method is one in which Jellby answered in one the topic linked above:
