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.

solid

Draws a single line.

double

Draws a double line.

dotted

Draws a dotted line.

dashed

Draws a dashed line.

wavy

Draws a wavy line.

-moz-none

Draws no line. Use text-decoration-line: none instead.

solid | double | dotted | dashed | wavy

The following creates a red wavy underline:

CSS

.wavy {
  text-decoration-line: underline;
  text-decoration-style: wavy;
  text-decoration-color: red;
}

HTML

<p class="wavy">This text has a wavy red line beneath it.</p>
