I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but if you want the text to be exactly like this -------- Text Goes Here ---------

you can use the following code:

<p>---------- Hello World! -----------</p>

it will look like this

Note: CSS was used to accomplish the task.

If you want the lines to be thicker just like in the photo you showed me, you can change the thickness of the border

border-top: 1px solid black;

Change the 1px to 5px or 10px.

Thanks for the share, but is it not possible using only HTML?

is it not possible using only HTML

HTML is just for content (e.g. text), CSS is for presentation like positing text between 2 borders.
