You can try: after and use the content attribute:
h1:after, h1 > span.shadow:after { content: "Nashville hack day is November 11"; font-size: 700%; }
And html could be:
<body> <h1><span class="shadow"></span></h1> </body>
I understand that this can be cumbersome, but at least you only need to write the content once.
See jsfiddle .
