This was undoubtedly asked before, but ...

If underline is italics, what's underline?

I believe it's a low-tech (read 'written') notation in the margin. I could be wrong, though.

What do you need to underline that should not be italicized?

Double underline, I think. Or mabe that's bold. I know double underling indicates something.

I have to reiterate Eric's quetion: What do you have that requires an underline which wouldn't be just as well done with italics? I'm just trying to think of when I've read a novel/story that actually had words underlined....

If you were trying to produce the format of a business letter, where underlining is frequently used for highlighting, particularly of subjects.

E.g.

Dear Mr Whatever,

[u]Re: your correspondence, dated 4 March 2004[/u]

I'm sorry to inform you that I cannot accept your offer.

Yours sincerely,

Whoever.


(Please imagine that this BB software actually supports underline, and that the section between [u] and [/u] is underlined. Doh!)

As it turns out I have nothing to underline. I got a little careless when writing, and for some reason thought song titles were underlined instead of in quotations. So, instead of any real pressing need, it's a this point a minor curiosity...

JOHN!
