Well, you can now. Here’s how you do it:
+ text +
(remove spaces)

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.
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
Thanks for the underlining technique. I shall try to use it sparingly.
Apparently if you encase a link with + +, it still has one underline.

Very nice! Good job.
I’m sure I’ll have an occasional use for this feature!

Of course now I have to try it.
Pillows!
Nice work broski. :)
Love it! Thanks for putting in all that work!
underline ’-’ Cool. Thanks.
@PhiNotPi Is your desire to make that face the main reason you added the underline feature?
Now no one can ignore me! ~
Sorry. Post got messed up
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.
@jonsblond ”less is more”? 8IIIIIIIIIIIIIID > 8IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID?
Not so cool after all. Yet.
But, I don’t know that I’ve seen anyone using it!
Aren’t links automatically underlined?
%Maybe% we just have to #experiment# to see !what! <works>?
Pillows!
Pillows, pillows? Those are not pillows. I tell you what, I would invite you but the pillows we use would not excite you.
