CSS text-decoration-style Property
Example

text-decoration-line: underline;
text-decoration-style: double;

.example3 {

}Meaning
The text-decoration-style property sets the style of the lines specified by text-decoration-line.
Note: The style applies to all lines that are set with text-decoration-line.
If the specified decoration has a specific semantic meaning, like a line-through line meaning that some text has been deleted, authors are encouraged to denote this meaning using an HTML tag, like <del> or <s>. As browsers can disable styling in some cases, the semantic meaning won't disappear in such a situation.
When setting multiple line-decoration properties at once, it may be more convenient to use the text-decoration shorthand property instead.
