Add button/markup for underlining text

Open jpslav opened this issue 14 years ago • 3 comments

Typically in web applications we avoid underlining arbitrary text b/c it makes that text look like a link.

However, some elementary school teachers recently told me that they have questions like: "What word is a synonym for the underlined word in the following sentence?". It makes sense that early elementary school students won't know what italics or bold are as much as they would underlining.

So add a button to markitup and add markup for underlining text. Go with something standard like double underscores before and after the text, e.g. underline this

I'm going to work on this while I'm taking a break from digest email.

Cool. Rachel has experience in terms of the parser / markup, fyi.
