Re: text markup underlining

Hi,

> Is there a simple way to underline text in markups . . .

This is not simple, but it will give you underlined markup:

   foo = \markup { \combine "abc" "___" }

(In between the 2nd set of quote signs are three underline characters.)

You may have some trouble getting the exact spacing you would like before
and after underlined text.

Hi list !

Coming from the french list where we are several to seeking a simple way
of underlining text :

Is there a simple way to underline text in markups (and everywhere else,
such as headers) ?

I've seen in the list something like \\underline, but it doesn't work at
all. I'd be very surprised to learn that something as simple as \bold or
\italic doesn't exist for underlining...

Best regards !
