Greetings. I've "inheri= ted" an HTML document that uses the construct:

 &l= t;u>event

for instance, to underline the initial 'e' in= the word. The context is
something like:

 = ; e event

to= show that the choice of option 'e' corresponds to choosing an "event".
=
In preparation for a revision of the document, I'm trying to create a *= .org
file that will duplicate as much of the original style of the HTML = document as
possible (i.e., when exported to HTML).

I haven't bee= n able to find a way to underline just the first character of a
word.&nb= sp; For instance,

 _e_vent

doesn't produce = what I want. I tried:

 _e_ vent

and that underlined the 'e' but, of course, left an unwanted s= pace.

Is there some way to do this? A better way?

Thank= s,

-- Mike

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- which surprised me: the "* Results" line is interpreted as a new headline during export, despite the fact that it appears within an example block (that's probably a consequence of the ordering of actions in org-export-preprocess-string [fn:2]): the noexport tag strips everything to the "* Results" line, which I guess is surprising at first but makes se= nse, and the #+end_example line is silently discarded).
