line-height

The line-height property defines the height of a line and is often used to adjust the space between lines of text. By default, line-height depends on the text font and is determined by the browser.

  • multiplier - is a value without units (e.g., 1.5). In this case, the line height will be the value that is 1.5 greater than the font-size value;
  • value in px - a specific value (e.g., 24px) to which the line height will be equal;
  • value in em - a value (e.g., 1.4em) that works similarly to the multiplier. The browser will check the font-size value, multiply that value by 1.4, and this result will be the line height;
  • percent - a value (e.g., 120%) that functions like a multiplier. The font-size value will be multiplied by 1.2, determining the line height value.

letter-spacing

The letter-spacing property sets the horizontal spacing between text characters.

  • normal is the default spacing between characters;
  • value in px is a specific value that adds extra space between characters;
  • value in em works similarly to px, but the spacing is relative to the font-size.

word-spacing

The word-spacing property defines the distance between words in the text. It increases the space between words. If there are any punctuation marks in the text, and they are written with words, then they will still be written together, as there is no space between them.

  • value is a specific value that sets the space between words;
  • inherit inherits the word spacing from the parent element;
  • normal is the default spacing between words.

text-shadow

The text-shadow property adds a shadow to the text.

  • X set - adjusts the position of the shadow horizontally. A positive value moves the shadow to the right, while a negative value moves it to the left;
  • Y set - adjusts the position of the shadow vertically. A positive value moves the shadow downwards, while a negative value moves it upwards;
  • blur radius - If the value is increased, the shadow becomes more diffuse and lighter. By default, the value is 0 if not specified;
  • color - specifies the color in any format. By default, the value is the same as the text color.

Note

In text formatting, there are no strict rules dictating which values must be used in specific situations. The choice of text formatting properties and values depends on the unique requirements of each project and the design vision.
