Synopsis
<u> . . . </u>
Enclosed text is underlined for semantic purposes, such as keywords or to indicate misspelt
words in a spellcheck. Underlined text is easily confused as a link and should generally be
avoided except for a few niche cases. Use other markup elements or CSS properties to indic-
ate phrases that require special attention.
