Create line after text with css
You could achieve this with an extra <span>
:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
position: relative;
}
h2 span {
background-color: white;
padding-right: 10px;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 0.5em;
border-top: 1px solid black;
z-index: -1;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>
Another solution without the extra <span>
but requires an overflow: hidden
on the <h2>
:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 0.5em;
vertical-align: bottom;
width: 100%;
margin-right: -100%;
margin-left: 10px;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>

There's no need for extra wrappers or span elements anymore. Flexbox and Grid can handle this easily.
h2 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: 1;
margin-left: 1rem;
height: 1px;
background-color: #000;
}
<h2>Heading</h2>
