[html] CSS technique for a horizontal line with words in the middle

CSS grids to the rescue

Similar to the flex answers above, this can also be done using CSS Grids. This gives you more scope to offset the title, and a more simple way of expanding the gap between the lines (using grid-template-columns) and the content (using grid-gap).

The benefits of this method over flex methods is the ease of being able to offset the lines, and additionally only needing to add in a gap between columns once (not twice, for each the :before and :after pseudo element). It is also much more syntactically cleaner and obvious IMO.

h1 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr auto 1fr;
  align-items: center;
  grid-gap: 1rem;
}

h1:before,
h1:after {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  border-top: 2px solid currentColor;
}

h1.offset {
  grid-template-columns: 1fr auto 3fr;
}

h1.biggap {
  grid-gap: 4rem;
}

<h1>This is a title</h1>

<h1 class="offset">Offset title</h1>

<h1 class="biggap">Gappy title</h1>

<h1>
  <span>Multi-line<br />title</span>
