<dt><center><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-

-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;-</b></center></dt></dl>

Ther are three (3) spaces between each dash (-)
There are fifteen (15) dashes each side of END

Display:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - E N D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Is there a better way to code this in HTML to obtain this display (END) ie remove a lot of space characters
Thank You

I was thinking of something like this:

CODE

p {
border-top: 0.2em dashed;
font-size: 1em;
text-align: center;
}

p span {
position: relative;
top: -0.7em;
letter-spacing: 0.5em;
}
