I don't _see_ the difference between an underlined and low dash       tagged word within ascii universe networks like Fidonet. Basically there is       not much need for markups. Look around in typical common media, bold italic       and underline markups are used very rarely because there is no significant       change of the content - a no is still a no and a _no_ is more no than no - or       a dead is more than _dead_ and a _faster_ is still more than fast and much       more faster than faster?              The one useful markup for quotes is italic and that function is already       covered by the > sign at the beginning of a quoted line.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/275 424 426 452 664 1016 240/77 2100 5138 5411 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 240/6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 633/280 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/77 5832 229/426           |
