How to style this <hr> with image and text in the middle? - html

Question

So I am styling this horizonal line with the idea of image and text in the middle and got stuck. How could I align the image on the left side of "TEXT" and not under it? Here's the link to demonstrate the current state:

Appreciate all the help.
.horizontal__rule--modified {
line-height: 1em;
position: relative;
border: 0;
color: #666666;
text-align: center;
height: 1.5em;
opacity: 0.7;
letter-spacing: 1px;
font-size: 16px;
&:before {
content: url(http://www.metalguitarist.org/forum/images/mgtwitter.png);
background: red;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
}
&:after {
content: attr(data-content);
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
color: black;
padding: 0 .5em;
line-height: 1.5em;
color: red;
background-color: #fcfcfa;
}
}
<hr class="horizontal__rule--modified" data-content="TEXT">

Answer 1

Actually you don't need a <hr /> at all here. You can just use pseudo elements and make it possible:
* {
font-family: 'Segoe UI';
font-weight: normal;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
h1 span {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 15px;
}
h1::after {
display: block;
content: "";
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-top: -0.5em;
}
<h1><span>Hello</span></h1>
If an image is needed for this like having a twitter icon, you can use: Source:
* {
font-family: 'Segoe UI';
font-weight: normal;
vertical-align: middle;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 14pt;
}
h1 span {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 15px;
}
h1::after {
display: block;
content: "";
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-top: -0.5em;
}
<h1>
<span>
<img src="http://www.metalguitarist.org/forum/images/mgtwitter.png" alt="" />
Hello
</span>
</h1>

Another solution apart from Praveen's is to use flex-box.
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="line"></div>
<div class="text">
Test
</div>
<div class="line"></div>
</div>
CSS
.wrapper {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
}
.line {
height: 10px;
background: black;
width: 100%;
}
.text {
padding: 0 10px;
}
