Underline
(Redirected from Underlined)
To make a text underlined means to add a straight line below the text. It is commonly used to emphasize the text. However, it is usually not used.
Usage
Both HTML and Wikitext uses the same way in making underlined text. They both use the <u> and the </u> tags to produce an underlined text.[1]

Underlining was developed for mechanical machines like this Underwood typewriter which had no bold or italic type. The only way to emphasize text that was typewritten was to back up the carriage and type underscores beneath the text. Underlining was a workaround for shortcomings in typewriter technology.
