Text Decoration Styles

<p id="">Discerning designers know that simple, out-of-the-box underlines don’t always look well-considered. With native support for text underline and decoration CSS properties, Webflow now gives you precise control over text decorations in the Style panel. You can now refine text decoration positioning, choose a different decoration color from your text color, or even add a squiggly line decoration.</p><figure id="" class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:2164px" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="fullwidth" data-rt-max-width="2164px"><div id=""><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/674510a7c9e0d145f413ebc267450fef3907dab7fa537090text-decor-style-1.png>" loading="lazy" alt="Text decorated with a dotted, dark teal underline offset by 8px" width="auto" height="auto" id=""></div><figcaption id="">With the new text decoration styles, you can create colorful, dotted underlines</figcaption></figure><h2 id="">New text decoration styles</h2><p id="">Starting today, you’ll find new <strong id="">“Decor”</strong> settings in the <strong id="">Style panel &gt; Typography section</strong>.
