I regret to say that I can't quite determine what you are asking for here.
However, I can make two guesses, and hope that one of them (or the
combination) will be helpful.

You might be looking for the text-decoration property. You can read the W3C
specs regarding it at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/text.html#lining-striking-props>

If you are wondering about how to select a elements with pseudo-classes,
take a look at:

Does that help?
