Basic usage

Setting the text decoration

Control how text is decorated with the underline, no-underline, and line-through utilities.


1. <p class="underline ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
2. <p class="overline ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
3. <p class="line-through ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>
4. <p class="no-underline ...">The quick brown fox ...</p>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:text-center to only apply the text-center utility on hover.

Try hovering over the text to see the expected behaviour


1. <a href="#" class="no-underline hover:underline ...">Link</a>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:underline to apply the underline utility at only medium screen sizes and above.


1. <p class="no-underline md:underline">
2. <!-- ... -->
3. </p>
