Hello

How to add a stroke outline to text thicker then 1px ?

Example is I made the outline 2px and it looks ragged compared to the 1px.
Is there a better way to add a stroke outline to any text?

Also can you take an image and resize it as the screen is resized?

Example of what I want but using css.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Text Stroke</title>
<style type="text/css">

Responsive image.

HTML:

CSS:

/**never bigger than native file size**/

img { max-width:100%}

/**as big as parent container, some distortion may occur**/

img {width: 100%}

I came across this from Adobe that has helped me.

https://css-tricks.com/adding-stroke-to-web-text/ will show you why you cannot go further than 1px without paying a penalty.

For responsive font sizes (RFS), I use the inbuilt Bootstrap style rules. Without Bootstrap, you can still use the Bootstrap style rules for RFS if you add the following to your style sheet.

@media (max-width: 1200px) {
  legend {
    font-size: calc(1.275rem + 0.3vw);
  }
  h1,
  .h1 {
    font-size: calc(1.375rem + 1.5vw);
  }
  h2,
  .h2 {
    font-size: calc(1.325rem + 0.9vw);
  }
  h3,
  .h3 {
    font-size: calc(1.3rem + 0.6vw);
  }
  h4,
  .h4 {
    font-size: calc(1.275rem + 0.3vw);
  }
  .display-1 {
    font-size: calc(1.725rem + 5.7vw);
  }
  .display-2 {
    font-size: calc(1.675rem + 5.1vw);
  }
  .display-3 {
    font-size: calc(1.575rem + 3.9vw);
  }
  .display-4 {
    font-size: calc(1.475rem + 2.7vw);
  }
  .close {
    font-size: calc(1.275rem + 0.3vw);
  }
}

This is the result:

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Personally l'm not in favour of fluid responsive text as its less exacting than using responsive text, but l guess its just another example of where we are heading, it will do if it means less work. The jumping effect using responsive text is not a consideration as no one apart from dorky web developers when they are testing their creations change the width of their browser window.......just my thoughts.
