CSS3 Text Effects
CSS3 contains several new text features.
In this chapter you will learn about the following text properties:
text-shadow
word-wrap
Browser Support
The numbers in the table specifies the first browser version that fully supports the property.

CSS3 Text Shadow
In CSS3, the text-shadow property applies shadow to text.
You specify the horizontal shadow, the vertical shadow, the blur distance, and the color of the shadow:
Example
Add a shadow to a header:
h1 {
text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #FF0000;
}

CSS3 Word Wrapping
If a word is too long to fit within an area, it expands outside:
This paragraph
contains a very long
word:
thisisaveryveryveryveryveryverylongword.
The long word will
break and wrap to
the next line.
In CSS3, the word-wrap property allows you to force the text to wrap - even if it means splitting it in the middle of a
word:
This paragraph
contains a very long
word:
thisisaveryveryveryv
eryveryverylongword.
The long word will
break and wrap to
the next line.
The CSS code is as follows:
Example
Allow long words to be able to break and wrap onto the next line:
p {
word-wrap: break-word;
}
