How do you draw a line after a word or before a word in HTML and/or CSS?

do you mean something like ---- word ---- ?

span{text-decoration:line-through;}
<p><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span> word <span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p>

span{text-decoration:line-through;}
<p><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span> word <span>&nbsp; &nbsp;

I mean a line without spaces something like the lines on the page
http://www.cilea.it/WWW-map/NIR-map.html
Also I wonder whether and how I can set the inclination of the line

The lines are part of the image. You use an image processing program to
add text and lines into an image.

(It would be possible, with the usual caveats, to create horizontal and
vertical lines using CSS and position them on the image. But that would
be unreliable and very clumsy as compared with the simple use of image
processing software.)

Hopefully you will create something more sensible than the image map
on the page you mention. That particular image map suffers from several
problems. Luckily there are links to alternatives that contain the
information as lists of links. An image map should always be
accompanied with such a list, especially since popular browsers
effectively fail to implement client-side image maps when the image is
not available, i.e. they don't make the areas available with their alt
texts.

And in that particular image map, lack of alt texts is essential when
the image is displayed, too. In many parts the server density is so
high that it is impossible to say which square corresponds to which
city unless you know Italian geography well. Well, there's the status
line, where the URL might help. But it's a poor surrogate for an
appropriate alt text.

i don't see any lines on that page except under the links

Also I wonder whether and how I can set the inclination of the line

use an image

Why do you shout ( capital letters)?
My question is: does Google take the bad/good quality of a page into account
when it ranks it on the top or only other things like perhaps the number of
visitors of the site?

there was a really good song on the radio and i had it up really loud.

google is not human. it wouldn't know a good/bad site if it bit it on
its bum. it guesses.

or only other things like perhaps the number of visitors of the site?

google has no way of knowing how many visitors a site gets unless
they're from links on its own pages that its tracking and then its still
a guess.

Yes, but your subject was "Line after or before a word".

No - <hr> means "horizontal rule" and is used to draw a line more in a way
to part text
in a vertical kind.

I would use the <u> tag which stands for "underline".

<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>hallo<u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>

deprecated and it doesn't necessarily mean "underline"

 

[Jan Faerber]

deprecated and it doesn't necessarily mean "underline"

Oh - anyway the equivalent thing to your css style
span{text-decoration:line-through;}
would be <s> for "stroke"?

But of course - <s> is as well deprecated.

strike

Yes, but ...

here is a nice gif concerning the topic "Microsoft wants to buy Google".

They don´t like to see so much linux users searching with Google
and very often sex sites come as a result from a completely different word
you search for.

Well, do you mean alt texts as the ones I wrote on the map of Italy on the
page http://www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/boendeiitalien.html
and links to alternatives as
[Aosta] [Milano] [Torino(Turin)] [Genova(Genua)] [Trento] [Trieste] [Venezia
(Venedig)] [Bologna] [Firenze (Florens)] [Ancona] [Perugia] [L´Aquila] [Roma
(Rom)] [Campobasso] [Bari] [Napoli (Neapel)] [Potenza] [Catanzaro] [Palermo]
[Cagliari] on the same page ?

I did not mean that the question above was my original question.
The question "does Google take the bad/good quality of a page into
account
when it ranks it on the top or only other things like perhaps the number
of visitors of the site?"
was referred to the sentence "Hopefully you will create something more
sensible than the image map
on the page you mention. That particular image map suffers from several
problems" which had been written by
Jukka K. Korpela.

Actually, it means exactly that:
"U: Deprecated. Renders underlined text."
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#edef-U

The <u> markup is physical markup that indicates underlined text. This
does not imply that the text will always be underlined, just as
<font color="red"> does not mean that the text will always be red,
since browsers may have physical limitations, and user style sheets

and it doesn't necessarily mean "strike through text"

Well, it by definition means just that.

(The <del> markup, on the other hand, means 'deleted text', and
although it is usually rendered as strike through text, its meaning is
not defined by its possible appearance. But physical markup _is_
defined by the appearance indicated.)

Of course, this has nothing to do with the problem of creating lines
into a map. But I thought the issue of physical markup needed to be
clarified. Physical markup is not recommendable, as a rule, but it's
simple; no need to make its _meaning_ complicated.

"Rendering of font style elements depends on the user agent. The
following is an informative description only."

The <u> markup is physical markup that indicates underlined text. This
does not imply that the text will always be underlined,

thats what i said.
