Underlining is simply bad typography in typesetting. That's why italic is used. Technically it had been possible in otroff to underline--they did not use it for style reasons.
I would have no problem with a special groff request with a new name. But one can't change .ul. There are people who use troff for typesetting book-like documents or anything else. They rely troff as they know it. (Really ANY book mentions this special property of .ul in troff!) ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: "(Ted Harding)" <ted.hard...@wlandres.net> An: groff@gnu.org Datum: 07.07.2014 22:53 Betreff: Re: [Groff] underlining > I would not wholly agree with this!
