Coding for Beginners: How to Add a Shadow to Your Text (text-shadow)
Drop shadows can be applied to text using the text-shadow property. The property can take up to four values to represent the horizontal offset, the vertical offset, the blur radius, and the base color of the shadow.
The offset properties are required and can accept most length and size units but pixels are most commonly used. Positive values move the shadow right or down while negative values move the shadow left or up.
The blur radius controls the dispersal of the shadow. A higher value means the shadow is dispersed more widely and will appear blurry. If it is not provided, the default value is 0 which means no blur.
The base color can be represented by any color system. If it is not provided, the base color will default to the element's color property.
More than one shadow can be applied to the same text by adding multiple shadow values separated by commas.
