Hi, It would be useful to have a CSS pseudo element that wrapped the referenced element.
With it, we would need less html whenever a single element needs to be wrapped. This happens frequently when I have to deal with titles decorated with lines, like: Title ------------- or ------ Title ------ So, for example, if we had a pseudo element called, say 'around', I would need a single element, like: h1::around { display:block; background: url('lines.png') center center repeat-x; text-align:center; } h1 { display:inline; background: white; padding: 0 10px; } I searched through the web, and found no smart way to do it, so I am currently placing a span inside the h1 to achieve this effect. Many thanks, Ivan
