Show stroke only around text

[welshmark]

Is it possible to show only a stroke around text with a transparent background?

In a similar way to putting a stroke in Photoshop then setting the fill opacity to 0%.

Thanks

As you can see from the above links…it is possible, but without knowing what you are actually trying to achieve it’s hard to offer the right suggestion.

if the ‘stroke’ is transparent…whats the point?

Real text stroke is webkit only, which is a bit sad. Luckily you can get a much better browser support with SVG text strokes, and as a bonus it falls back to normal text automatically :)

For both methods it sucks that you can’t have inner or outer strokes, but for a transparent fill it doesn’t matter anyway.
