text-decoration-skip-ink
is not part of the text-decoration
shorthand.
Syntax
/* Single keyword */ text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; text-decoration-skip-ink: all; /* Global keywords */ text-decoration-skip: inherit; text-decoration-skip: initial; text-decoration-skip: unset;
Values
none
- Underlines and overlines are drawn across the full length of the text content, including parts that cross over glyph descenders and ascenders.
auto
- The default — the browser may interrupt underlines and overlines so that they do not touch or closely approach a glyph. That is, they are interrupted where they would otherwise cross over a glyph.
all
- The browser must interrupt underlines and overlines so that they do not touch or closely approach a glyph. This can be helpful with certain Chinese, Japanese, or Korean (CJK) fonts, where the
auto
behavior might not create interruptions.
