Styling Your Text Like a Pro!
Text is the backbone of your website, but plain text is boring! With CSS, you can make your text pop using:
- Text Color – Change the font color
- Text Decoration – Add underlines, overlines, or strike-through effects
- Text Alignment – Control how text is positioned
Let’s dive into these properties and transform your boring text into a masterpiece!
Text Color: Make It Stand Out
The color property changes the text color:
p {
color: red;
}
- Supports color names, RGB, HEX, and HSL.
- Helps improve readability.
- Poor contrast can make text hard to read.
Think of this like picking a marker color—make sure it stands out!
Text Decoration: Add Some Style
The text-decoration property allows you to modify the look of your text:
p {
text-decoration: underline; /* Adds underline */
}
Other values:
text-decoration: overline; /* Line above text */
text-decoration: line-through; /* Strikethrough */
text-decoration: none; /* Removes default decoration */
- Useful for links and important text.
- Enhances visual appeal.
- Overuse can make text look cluttered.
Imagine this as choosing whether to underline or highlight text in a notebook!
Text Alignment: Positioning Matters
Use text-align to control text positioning:
p {
text-align: center;
}
Other values:
text-align: left; /* Aligns text to the left (default) */
text-align: right; /* Aligns text to the right */
text-align: justify; /* Stretches text to fit the width */
- Improves readability.
- Useful for designing layouts.
- Overuse of justify can cause weird spacing.
Think of this as arranging text in a book—you want it to be easy to read!
Conclusion: Mastering Text Styling
- Text Color – Choose colors wisely for readability.
