How can I make a fieldset legend-style “background line” on heading text?

Kind of late to the party, but this is my solution: https://jsfiddle.net/g43pt908/

Requires no images, and doesn't depend on a background color.

HTML

    Some text

CSS

.hr-text {
    border-top: 1px solid #999;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: inherit;
}

.hr-text span {
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    height: 14px;
    top: -12px;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: italic;
    color: #666;
    background-color: inherit;
    padding: 0 10px;
}
