A CSS technique for recreating the visual effect of a fieldset-legend combination using CSS Grid and pseudo-elements.

The approach maintains transparency, keeps borders middle-aligned even with multi-line text, and uses CSS custom properties for easy customization. Several variations are presented, including simplified versions using background colors or blend modes.
