You can "decorate" text with CSSthat is, apply or remove a particular decorative value. This is done using the text-decoration property, with values as follows:
none This is used primarily to remove the default underlines from links. See Chapter 10, "Link Effects, Lists, and Navigation."
underline This places a line underneath the selected text. Usability specialists tend to shun underlined text because it can be confused with linked text.
blink Yep, you read that right. This causes text to blink, a feature that was introduced (and used to the point of pain) by Netscape in the early days. It works in all contemporary browsers but Internet Explorer.
Example 9-5 serves up an inline CSS sample for decorating text.
<p style="text-decoration: underline;">This text is underlined</p> <p style="text-decoration: overline;">This text has an overline</p> <p style="text-decoration: line-through;">This text has a line-through</p> <p style="text-decoration: blink;">This text blinks</p>
Figure 9-9 shows the results, with the exception of the blink.
