Description
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-4/#propdef-text-decoration-skip
During the Sydney F2F, there was an assertion that the text-decoration-skip-* properties can be used to turn off underlining on a particular element. However, I don’t see any value to text-decoration-skip that seems relevant. (The spec hasn’t been updated to break out each of these values into their own properties)
noneskips nothing, which is the opposite of what I wantobjectsonly skips atomic inlines, but I want to turn off the underline on arbitrary contentspaces,leading-spaces, andtrailing-spacesonly skips whitespace, but I want it to skip arbitrary text contentedgesonly insets the underline slightly, rather than skipping over entire elementsbox-decorationalso isn’t what I want
