With the introduction of the following text-decoration properties, we can now style text in more ways than before. text-decoration is the shorthand for text-decoration-thickness, text-decoration-color, text-decoration-line and text-decoration-style. text-decoration-skip, text-decoration-skip-ink, text-decoration, text-underline-offset and text-underline-position need to be specified explicitly.
Syntax
The syntax of CSS text-decoration is as follows −
Selector { text-decoration: /*value*/ }
Example
The following examples illustrate CSS text-decoration property.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> #one { text-decoration-style: double; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; } p { padding: 2%; text-decoration-line: underline overline; text-decoration-style: wavy; } p:nth-of-type(even) { text-decoration: overline; } span { text-decoration: line-through; } </style> </head> <body> <p id="one">Random Demo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</p> <p>Random Demo Text</p> <p>Random <span>Demo</span> Text</p> </body> </html>
