Sample Heading
The text-shadow Property
Syntax: text-shadow: x y blur color (no spread, unlike box-shadow). Subtle shadows lift headings off the page; strong offsets with zero blur create retro "hard shadow" styles; and multiple comma-separated shadows can fake outlines and neon glows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a neon glow?
Use zero offsets and stack shadows with growing blur in a bright color: 0 0 6px, 0 0 12px, 0 0 24px — all in the glow color, on a dark background.
Does text-shadow affect accessibility?
Heavy shadows can hurt readability. Keep body text shadow-free and reserve effects for large headings; always check contrast after applying.
