Web sites have needed text layout since the earliest days, and CSS is the smoothest way to create pleasing layouts. It's not just about choosing and applying fonts (covered in CSS Fonts), but about alignment, spacing, positioning, indentation, line heights, superscripts, underlines, shadows, capitalization, and all the other features that demonstrate careful presentation.
As a web designer, you probably spend more time working with text than any other element. With this concise guide, you'll learn CSS3 properties for changing the appearance of text without altering the font face including horizontal and vertical alignment, text transformation, word and letter spacing, text wrapping, and the direction of text flow.
This book is an excerpt from the upcoming fourth edition of CSS: The Definitive Guide. When you purchase either the print or the ebook edition of CSS Text, you'll receive a discount on the entire Definitive Guide once it's released. Why wait, when you can start manipulating text on your pages right away?
