More Details for text-decoration-style

text-decoration-style

The text-decoration-style CSS property sets the style of the lines specified by text-decoration-line. The style applies to all lines that are set with text-decoration-line.

If the specified decoration has a specific semantic meaning, like a line-through line meaning that some text has been deleted, authors are encouraged to denote this meaning using an HTML tag, like <del> or <s>. As browsers can disable styling in some cases, the semantic meaning won't disappear in such a situation.

When setting multiple line-decoration properties at once, it may be more convenient to use the text-decoration shorthand property instead.
