Text Color
The color property is used to set the color of the text. The color can be
specified by:
- name - a color name, like "red"
- RGB - an RGB value, like "rgb(255,0,0)"
- Hex - a hex value, like "#ff0000"
The default color for a page is defined in the body selector.
Example
body {color:blue;}
h1 {color:#00ff00;}
h2 {color:rgb(255,0,0);} |
|
 For chennaisundat compliant CSS:
If you define the color property, you must also define the background-color
property.
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;} |
|
It is not recommended
to underline text that is not a link, as this often confuses users.
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.
