Text Decoration Style

​Basic usage

​Setting the text decoration style

Use the decoration-* utilities to change the style of an element’s text decoration.

<p class="underline decoration-solid ...">The quick brown fox...</p>
<p class="underline decoration-double ...">The quick brown fox...</p>
<p class="underline decoration-dotted ...">The quick brown fox...</p>
<p class="underline decoration-dashed ...">The quick brown fox...</p>
<p class="underline decoration-wavy ...">The quick brown fox...</p>

​Applying conditionally

​Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:decoration-dashed to only apply the decoration-dashed utility on hover.

<p class="underline hover:decoration-dashed">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

​Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:decoration-dashed to apply the decoration-dashed utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<p class="underline md:decoration-dashed">
  <!-- ... -->
</p>
