Wordpress theme remove text outside element

Question

I need to remove the author and category from a wordpress hosted theme, the only problem is how I hide the text "·by" and "·in" with css. I tried with .published:after without success.

<div class="byline">
    <abbr class="published" title="November 13, 2013 2:05 pm">November 13, 2013</abbr> ·by
    <span class="author vcard">
<a href="http:xxxx" title="xxxx" rel="author">xxxx</a>
</span> ·in <a href="http://xxx" title="xxx" rel="category tag">xxxx</a>    
</div>// This is just a sample script. 

Paste your real code (javascript or HTML) here.

if ('this_is'==/an_example/){of_beautifer();}else{var a=b?(c%d):e[f];}

Any ideas? Thanks

If you don't have access to your html/php code you will have to use javascript.

I am not a wordpress expert, I usualy use joomla but I am sure in your article option you can turn off the author name and category displaying.
