Creates an effect where text appears to be "etched" or engraved into the background.
|
|
|
|
- Use `text-shadow` to create a white shadow offset `0px` horizontally and `2px` vertically from the origin position.
|
|
- The background must be darker than the shadow for the effect to work.
|
|
- The text color should be slightly faded to make it look like it's engraved/carved out of the background.

|
```html
|
|
<p class="etched-text">I appear etched into the background.</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
.etched-text {
|
|
text-shadow: 0 2px white;
|
|
font-size: 1.5rem;
|
|
font-weight: bold;
|
|
color: #b8bec5;
|
|
}
|

```
