|

|
## Text Shadow
|
|
|
|
The `text-shadow` property adds shadow to text.
|
|
```css
|
|
text-shadow: offset-x offset-y blur-radius color;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### offset-x
|
|
|
|
Sets the horizontal distance from the text. Accepts both positive and negative values. Positive values place shadow to the right of the text while a negative value places the shadow to the left.
|
|
|
|
The `offset-x` value is required.
|
|
|
|
### offset-y
|
|
|
|
Sets the vertical distance from the text. Accepts both positive and negative values. Positive values place shadow to below the text while a negative value places the shadow above.
|
|
|
|
The `offset-y` value is required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### blur-radius
|
|
|
|
Sets the length of the shadow's blur. The larger the value the wider and lighter the shadow becomes.
|
|
|
|
The `blur-radius` value is optional.
|
|
|
|
### color
|
|
|
|
Sets the color of the shadow.
|
|
|
|
The `color` value is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
text-shadow: 1px -2px 5px #a4a4a4;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example of multiple shadows
|
|
Multiple shadows can be used for giving text a solid outline on all 4 directions, like a bubble-writing effect.
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
text-shadow: -1px 0 1px black, 0 1px 1px black, 1px 0 1px black, 0 -1px 1px black;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
