Text Underline in Tailwind CSS

Last updated: December 18, 2023

In Tailwind CSS, you can add an underline to text by using the underline utility. You can also control the offset (the distance between text and the line) of a text underline by using underline-offset-{option} classes. {option} can be: auto, 0, 1, 2, 4, 8.

Example 1

Screenshot:

The code:

<body class="p-20">
    <h1 class="underline text-5xl">Hello World</h1>
    <br/>
    <h1 class="underline underline-offset-8 text-4xl">Goodbye World</h1>
    <br />
    <p class="underline underline-offset-0 text-indigo-500">Have a nice day</p>
</body>

Example 2

This example demonstrates how to show an underline when hovering over a link.

The code:

<body class="p-20">
    <a class="text-blue-600 text-4xl hover:underline" href="https://www.slingacademy.com">Welcome to
        Sling Academy</a>
</body>

That’s it. Happy coding & have a nice day!
