Hi, I know text-decoration had not been evaluated yet. I also know of the 2002 draft (<http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-text-20020515/#text- underline-props>) but I post know regarding a new property. Good typography software (but OS X’s TextEdit too!) are able to break the underlining when it crosses a descender (g, j, p, q, y) Look here (the small text) <http://blog.empyree.org/images/typo-cap- souligne.png> (original RTF <http://blog.empyree.org/fichiers/Vraies% 20petites%20capitales.rtf>) For now, this can sometimes be “fixed” with border-bottom, by avoiding the issue - text-decoration striking through the descenders <http:// blog.empyree.org/images/jambage-text-decoration.png> - border-bottom avoiding the problem <http://blog.empyree.org/images/ jambage-border-bottom.png>. This usually achieves a effect similar to "text-underline-position:after-edge", but the latter is better. Notice that stopping before and resuming after descender is not the same as text-underline-position:after-baseline, as the behaviour of the latter is unclear (stop and resume is nicer, but I guess it is more expensive too). -- </david_latapie> http://blog.empyree.org/ U+0F00
