Did you know that you can underline text?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12686points) June 22nd, 2014

Well, you can now. Here’s how you do it:

+ text +
(remove spaces)
text

Underlining is not yet visible in the preview box, but becomes visible once you post the answer. I’ve decided to enable underlining because I felt that it was something basic.

Also, use underlining sparingly. In most cases, italics and boldface look nicer than underlining. Answers with too much formatting can be considered low-quality.

My malevolent side wanted to enable highlighting, but that would have been downright evil.

I do now.

Can you implement pagination?

We bow before your superior brain @PhiNotPi and we drink your MILKSHAKE!

Please, please don’t enable highlighting. That would be seriously overused, and drop the readability of the site.

@PhiNotPi: I haven’t said this yet, but you are a peach amongst jellies. Thank you so much for taking the time to fix up and improve Fluther.

I applaud your ingenuity but like @filmflam, worry about those who already use the textile markups as decoration or an art form, to the point of serious distraction.

Dan_Lyons's avatar

I Don‘t think anyone will use these things to the point of distraction…besides, the thing doesn’t work!

I take it back. It doesn’t look like it’s working until you submit and then whammo

Pachy's avatar

Nice discovery, @PhiNotPi. Thanks.

Kardamom's avatar

Thanks for the underlining technique. I shall try to use it sparingly.

Brian1946's avatar

Apparently if you encase a link with + +, it still has one underline.

Yep. It works!

Cool! Good for references, I guess.
This contains every text style.

dxs's avatar

@PhiNotPi Is your desire to make that face the main reason you added the underline feature?

I was going to type less is more under my previous answer, but then @Symbeline quickly answered after me and my less is more comment would not have worked like I wanted it to. Nice penis, Sym.

Strauss's avatar

@jonsblondless is more”? 8IIIIIIIIIIIIIID > 8IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID?

Berserker's avatar

@jonsblond Thanks. I’m glad you like my shlong.

CWOTUS's avatar

Not so cool after all. Yet.

ibstubro's avatar

But, I don’t know that I’ve seen anyone using it!

ibstubro's avatar

Aren’t links automatically underlined?

Strauss's avatar

Are we doing this again?

ibstubro's avatar

%Maybe% we just have to #experiment# to see !what! <works>?

Pillows, pillows? Those are not pillows. I tell you what, I would invite you but the pillows we use would not excite you.
