text-underline-offset

The text-underline-offset CSS property sets the offset distance of an underline text decoration line (applied using text-decoration) from its original position.

text-underline-offset is not part of the text-decoration shorthand. While an element can have multiple text-decoration lines, text-underline-offset only impacts underlining, and not other possible line decoration options such as overline or line-through.

Values: This property is specified as one of the following values:

Values: auto The browser chooses the appropriate offset for underlines. <length> Specifies the offset of underlines as a length, overriding the font file suggestion and the browser default. It is recommended to use em units so the offset scales with the font size. <percentage> Specifies the offset of underlines as a percentage of 1 em in the element’s font. A percentage inherits as a relative value, and so therefore scales with changes in the font. For a given application of this property, the offset is constant across the whole box that the underline is applied to, even if there are child elements with different font sizes or vertical alignment.

Syntax example: text-underline-offset: auto;
