Text Formatting ⇒ putting a word between lines

[Avogel]

Hello, I'm trying to put a word like this:

------------
this is text
------------

but with the "------" being a full line.
(so basicly putting it in a box without right and left side.)

What command can I use for this?

Hi,

you could use something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article} 

\begin{document} 

\noindent\hrulefill\par
\centering Some text\\[-.5\baselineskip]
\hrulefill\par

\end{document}

Thats seems to work, but it's not rly doing what I'm looking for.
If i use your way, it fills the whole line with a line. and i only mean it to draw a line as big as the text.
Any more ideas?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article} 

\newlength\mylen
\settowidth\mylen{Some text}
\newcommand*\myrule{\rule{\mylen}{0.4pt}}

\begin{document} 

\noindent\myrule\\
Some text\\[-.5\baselineskip]
\myrule

\end{document}

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}\hline
    Words between lines \\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
\end{document}
