The text-decoration
shorthand CSS property sets the appearance of decorative lines on text. It is a shorthand for text-decoration-line
, text-decoration-color
, text-decoration-style
, and the newer text-decoration-thickness
property.
text-decoration: underline;
text-decoration: underline dotted;
text-decoration: underline dotted red;
text-decoration: green wavy underline;
text-decoration: underline overline #ff3028;
<section id="default-example">
<p>
I'd far rather be
<span class="transition-all" id="example-element">happy than right</span>
any day.
</p>
</section>
p {
font: 1.5em sans-serif;
}
Text decorations are drawn across descendant text elements. This means that if an element specifies a text decoration, then a child element can't remove the decoration. For example, in the markup <p>This text has <em>some emphasized words</em> in it.</p>
, the style rule p { text-decoration: underline; }
would cause the entire paragraph to be underlined. The style rule em { text-decoration: none; }
would not cause any change; the entire paragraph would still be underlined. However, the rule em { text-decoration: overline; }
would cause a second decoration to appear on "some emphasized words".
text-decoration: underline;
text-decoration: overline red;
text-decoration: none;
/* Global values */
text-decoration: inherit;
text-decoration: initial;
text-decoration: revert;
text-decoration: revert-layer;
text-decoration: unset;
The text-decoration

<p class="under">This text has a line underneath it.</p>
<p class="over">This text has a line over it.</p>
<p class="line">This text has a line going through it.</p>
<p>
This <a class="plain" href="#">link will not be underlined</a>, as links
generally are by default. Be careful when removing the text decoration on
anchors since users often depend on the underline to denote hyperlinks.
</p>
<p class="underover">This text has lines above <em>and</em> below it.</p>
<p class="thick">
This text has a really thick purple underline in supporting browsers.
</p>
<p class="blink">
This text might blink for you, depending on the browser you use.
