Re: [O] double underlines and external references

[John Kitchin]

I see, if it is just export you can still use a link with custom exporters for internal and external recipes. eg: [[irec: some recipe label]] might export to \uline{some recipe label} and [[erec:some other recipe]] might export to \uuline{some other recipe}, and you would use the ulem latex package to get those commands. 

The colors I was referring to were for your benefit in org-mode to make it easy to see which kind of link it is.

Another alternative is a macro:

#+MACRO: irec  \uline{$1}

#+MACRO: erec  \uuline{$1}

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{ulem}

{{{irec(some label)}}} and {{{erec(some other label)}}}

This exports to: \uline{some label} and \uuline{some other label}

Thanks for replying John.

I don't think I was quite as explicit as I should've been. I'm exporting
my org-mode documents into latex ones, which are then building a PDF,
which can then be printed in black and white (with no other colours
being allowed), with the ultimate aim of it being professionally printed
as books.

Hence my need for both, double and single line, underlines.

But I'm also open to any other way of finding some other way of showing
the different links, but I can only use either black or white colours.

Thanks
Sharon.
