Text-shadow is a property that&#8217;s commonly used to to achieve these funky effects, but the :before or :after pseudo-selectors can also be used in combination with the content property to create some pretty awesome text designs in pure CSS. In fact, the :after pseudo-selector is used to create an effect that makes your text look like it&#8217;s being viewed through an anaglyphic 3D lens. By repeating the text after the tag originally appears by using the content property and playing around with the colors and the positioning, you can make it look like you&#8217;re seeing double.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how your CSS code should look:<\/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
