[Pmwiki-users] why underline does not exist ?

[John Rankin]

On a couple of my wikis, I use ^^superscript^^ and __subscript__ markup. I also use {+insert+} and {-delete-} -- the {+insert+} renders as underscore using <ins> ... </ins>, the {-delete-} as strikethrough using <del> ... </del>.

So, if __underline__ is added to PmWiki, is there a good markup for subscript?

I also considered ++insert++ and --delete-- and ..subscript..

My preference would be to use the wikistyles markup for underline, along the lines of 
  %text-decoration=underline%underlined text%%

An author could %define ul text-decoration=underline% in a GroupHeader page.

I think two underscores is a good markup sequence for underline. I'll add your code to my local.php ...
