CSS text-underline-offset Property
Example
p {
text-decoration: underline;
text-underline-offset: 1em;
}Hello World!
Meaning:
The text-underline-offset CSS property sets the offset distance of an underline text decoration line (applied using text-decoration) from its original position.
Note: text-underline-offset is not part of the text-decoration shorthand. While an element can have multiple text-decoration lines, text-underline-offset only impacts underlining, and not other possible line decoration options such as overline or line-through.

Property Values
The following table describes the values of this property:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| auto | The browser chooses the appropriate offset for underlines. |
| length | Specifies the offset of underlines as a length, overriding the font file suggestion and the browser default. It is recommended to use em units so the offset scales with the font size. |
| percentage | Specifies the offset of underlines as a percentage. |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value. |
| inherit | If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property. |
| revert | Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property |
| revert-layer | Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers. |
| unset | Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. |
