Hi,

this code will display a solid horizontal line before and after some text, which can be used for chapters.

h1 {text-align:center;}

.solid-line {
    padding-left: 6em;
    font-size: .4em;
    vertical-align: middle;
    line-height: 1em;
    margin-left: 1em;
    margin-right: 1em;
    position: relative;
    bottom: .25em;
    background-color: black;
}

You would use it like this:

<h1><span class="solid-line">&nbsp;</span>Chapter One<span class="solid-line">&nbsp;</span></h1>

This controls the width of the line:
padding-left: 6em;

This controls the separation between the line and the text:
margin-left: 1em;
margin-right: 1em;
