You do not need to know this directly. See below:

Define two derived backends:

backend 1)  Use 'html as the parent. Add 'MYBLOCK' to the `:export-block'
list and define your own `org-backend1-export-block' transcoder with a fallback
to the parent backend for HTML blocks.

You will have access to the :value of MYBLOCK as a string. You can use 
`org-export-string-as' to process that value according to an arbitrary backend -
in this case you use `backend2'.

backend 2) Use html as the parent of this backend and define
 `org-backend2-underline' to use the rules you outline above. You can 
parse the `contents' arg for the `|' etc.

There might be a case for making `backend2' anonymous since you only replace 
one transcoder of the parent. There is an example in 
` org-html--format-toc-headline'.

HTH,

Chuck
