# &lt;text-style&gt;

The `<text-style>` CSS type represents styles that can be applied to text.

!!! warning

    Not to be confused with the [`text-style`](../styles/text_style.md) CSS rule that sets the style of text in a widget.

## Syntax

A [`<text-style>`](/css_types/text_style) can be the value `none` for plain text with no styling,
or any _space-separated_ combination of the following values:

| Value       | Description                                                     |
|-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| `bold`      | **Bold text.**                                                  |
| `italic`    | _Italic text._                                                  |
| `reverse`   | Reverse video text (foreground and background colors reversed). |
| `strike`    | <s>Strikethrough text.</s>                                      |
| `underline` | <u>Underline text.</u>                                          |

## Examples

### CSS

#label1 {
    /* You can specify any value by itself. */

}
```
