How to underline text in reStructuredText?

Of course, on the web an underline denotes hyperlink, but what if I need underline which is not a hyperlink?

Solution

  • I asked a similar question here. Try like this:

    .. role:: underline
    :class: underline

    In the document, this can be applied as follows:

    :underline:`This text is underlined`

    In your css file you could have:

    .underline {
  text-decoration: underline;
}

    This should work for HTML output. However, underlining is intentionally not part of the ReST specs. See this link.
