Summary 💡

When a horizontal Divider has text with textAlign="left", the spacing before the text depends on its size. It would be nice if the spacing was consistent, possibly even configurable.

Examples 🌈

Here are 3 dividers with text, note that the space before the text changes depending on its size:

Motivation 🔦

When you have a couple dividers on a page, it seems odd that their text is not aligned consistently.

Research direction

Start with the Divider component and the linked CodeSandbox example, comparing the three horizontal dividers that use textAlign="left". Determine how the current text size affects the leading spacing and define whether consistent spacing alone or a configurable option is required. Done means left-aligned divider labels have consistent spacing across different text sizes, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
