  groff.texi, groff(7), groff_char(7): Overhaul underlining
  
  * Make the terminology a bit more consistent and precise; for
    example, "underlining" is used instead of "an underline".
  
  * Explain why it matters in which order 2 characters participate in
    overstriking.
  
  * Provide superior example macros for performing underlining via
    overstriking.
  
  * Document "\_", "\[ul]", "\[ru]", and "\[br]" more completely.
  
  * Note what happens when one "ul" request is made while another
    "ul" request is still in effect.
  
  * In the course of these edits:
  
    . Use the "nop" request to clarify the "box" macro example.
    . Re-write "zero width space" as "zero-width space".
    . Replace a couple uses of "See @ref" with "@xref".
    . Generally improve the surrounding prose.
    . Improve surrounding index terms.
