Applying underline formatting in Markdown

Thursday, February 29, 2024

Markdown doesn't natively support underlining text. To underline text, you need to use HTML <u> tag.

Short version

• Use <u> to underline text.

Long version

Since Markdown aims to ensure the text is readable in its raw form, it doesn't include an underline formatting option, advocating for the use of bold and italic instead. However, you can still underline text using HTML:

<u>This text will be underlined.</u>

This text will be underlined.
