I don't know how else to demonstrate. The overstriking basic pattern which some manual pages use for bold+underline is _\bC\bC (where C is the character). In an xterm or the linux console, running less on the attached overstrike.txt causes the text to appear as follows: This works: bold As does this: underline This breaks: b^Hbo^Hol^Hld^Hd a^Han^Hnd^Hd u^Hun^Hnd^Hde^Her^Hrl^Hli^Hin^Hne^He --bod
This works: bboolldd As does this: _u_n_d_e_r_l_i_n_e This breaks: _bb_oo_ll_dd _aa_nn_dd _uu_nn_dd_ee_rr_ll_ii_nn_ee
