CSS Text

Text Color

The color property is used to set the color of the text.

With CSS, a color is most often specified by:

• a HEX value - like "#ff0000"
• an RGB value - like "rgb(255,0,0)"
• a color name - like "red"

• Example

  body {color:blue;}
  h1 {color:#00ff00;}
  h2 {color:rgb(255,0,0);}

  Text Alignment

  The text-align property is used to set the horizontal alignment of a text.

  Text can be centered, or aligned to the left or right, or justified.

  When text-align is set to "justify", each line is stretched so that every line has equal width, and the left and right margins are straight (like in magazines and newspapers).

  Example

  h1 {text-align:center;}
  p.date {text-align:right;}
  p.main {text-align:justify;}Text Decoration

  
  

  The text-decoration property is used to set or remove decorations from text.

  
  

  The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links for design purposes:

  
  

  Example

  
  

  a {text-decoration:none;}

  It can also be used to decorate text:

  Example

  h1 {text-decoration:overline;}
  h2 {text-decoration:line-through;}
  h3 {text-decoration:underline;}
  h4 {text-decoration:blink;}

  Text Transformation

  The text-transform property is used to specify uppercase and lowercase letters in a text.

  It can be used to turn everything into uppercase or lowercase letters, or capitalize the first letter of each word.

  Example

  p.uppercase {text-transform:uppercase;}
  p.lowercase {text-transform:lowercase;}
  p.capitalize {text-transform:capitalize;}

  Text Indentation

  The text-indentation property is used to specify the indentation of the first line of a text.

  Example

  p {text-indent:50px;}
