Specification
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-4/#text-decoration-skip-spaces-property


Summary
The text-decoration-skip-spaces CSS property controls whether text decoration 
lines (underlines, overlines, line-throughs, etc.) skip over whitespace 
characters. This allows authors to prevent decorations from being drawn under 
spaces, which is often more visually appealing.


Blink component
Blink>CSS


Web Feature ID
text-decoration


Motivation
Currently there is no web standard way to control whether text decorations 
(underlines, overlines, line-throughs) appear over whitespace characters. 
Authors commonly want to suppress the underline under leading/trailing spaces 
in inline elements, but CSS provides no mechanism for this. The 
`text-decoration-skip-spaces` property fills this gap, allowing precise control 
over decoration rendering around whitespace. This is useful for navigation 
menus, links, and any text where the decoration should visually attach only to 
non-space characters.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
