Set outline style as a groove with CSS
To set the outline style as a groove, use the outline-style property with the value groove. Under groove, the outline looks as though it is carved into the page.
Syntax
selector {
outline-style: groove;
}
Example
The following example demonstrates how to apply a groove outline style to a paragraph −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.groove-outline {
outline-width: 3px;
outline-style: groove;
outline-color: #666;
padding: 15px;
margin: 20px;
font-size: 18px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="groove-outline">
This text has a 3px groove outline that appears carved into the page.
</p>
</body>
</html>
A paragraph with text appears on the page, surrounded by a carved-in groove outline effect that creates a 3D appearance as if the text is recessed into the surface.
Conclusion
The outline-style: groove property creates a distinctive 3D carved effect around elements. Combine it with outline-width and outline-color for better visual control.
