How to style text button with CSS?

The text button is a button that appears as simple text but it is actually a button. We can customize the HTML buttons so that it acts as a text button. To do so, we need to add some CSS properties to it.

Creating a text button

The HTML <button> tag is used to create a text button. To make it a text button we need to remove its default border using border: none property. We also need to remove the default background properties using background: none. We can change the color of the text using the color property. Further, add some CSS property :hover so that the text button varies from normal text.

Here is a small example, we have created a text button using CSS properties.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="utf-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<style>
   button {
      background: none;
	  border: none;
   }
   button:hover {
     background-color: blue;
   }
   p , button {
     color: red;
