Text
The text properties serve to format the visual appearance of text content.
color
The
color
property sets the color of text by using either one of the color notations. By
default, its value is set to
inherit
, meaning that it inherits the color of its parent element.
color : inherit | <color>
The initial value is black for all major browsers. In the following example rule,
paragraphs are colored blue:
p { color: #00f; }
text-transform
text-transform
controls text casing. Possible values are listed as follows, with
none
as the
initial value:
text-transform : inherit | none | uppercase | lowercase | capitalize
This property enables text to be converted into either uppercase or lowercase letters.
The
capitalize
value capitalizes the first letter of each word. This property inherits by
default, so the
none
value can be used to remove an inherited
text-transform
effect.
text-transform: none; /* remove effect */
text-decoration
One or more visual effects to text can be added with the
text-decoration
property.
text-decoration : none | underline + overline + line-through + blink
