Text Alignment

The text-align property is used to set horizontal alignment of a text with possible values as left, right, center or justify.

  • overline: Line is drawn above text
  • line-through: Line is drawn through text
  • underline: Text is underlined

Text Transformation

The text-transform property is used to specify uppercase and lowercase letters in a text. Following values can be used:
