How to Use Text Underline Offset in Tailwind CSS

To use text underline offset in Tailwind CSS, you can use the underline-offset-{amount} utility class. Here's how to apply it:

  1. Add the underline class to enable underlining.
  2. Use underline-offset-{amount} to set the offset. The available amounts are:

underline-offset-auto

  • underline-offset-0
  • underline-offset-1
  • underline-offset-2
  • underline-offset-4
  • underline-offset-8
<p class="underline underline-offset-4">
  This text has an underline with an offset of 4 pixels.
</p>

You can also combine this with other text decoration utilities like decoration-{color} to change the underline color.

<p class="underline underline-offset-2 decoration-blue-500">
  This text has a blue underline with an offset of 2 pixels.
</p>
