The\u00a0<strong>text-decoration-style<\/strong> property defines the style of the decoration. It accepts the parameters solid (default), double, dotted, wavy, dashed, wavy, initial, and inherit.\u00a0There&#8217;s also a\u00a0<strong>text-decoration-color<\/strong>\u00a0property that allows the decoration lines to be any color.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of how to use text-decoration to create a pink dashed line above every\u00a0<strong>p<\/strong> element.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ig-sh-1\" class=\"syntax_hilite\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"toolbar\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"view-different-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"view-different\">&lt;
