### Gradient text
Gives text a gradient color.
#### HTML
```html
<p class="gradient-text">Gradient text</p>
```
#### CSS
```css
.gradient-text {
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(pink, red);
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
}
```
#### Demo
<div class="snippet-demo">
<p class="snippet-demo__gradient-text">
Gradient text
</p>
</div>
<style>
.snippet-demo__gradient-text {
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(pink, red);
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
font-size: 2rem;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0;
}
</style>
#### Explanation
1. `background: -webkit-linear-gradient(...)` gives the text element a gradient background.
2. `webkit-text-fill-color: transparent` fills the text with a transparent color.
3. `webkit-background-clip: text` clips the background with the text, filling the text with
the gradient background as the color.
