But I have never used this, so I am not sure if this does not have
unwanted side effect, for example in table formatting.
Besides, I think underlining is supposed to be italics of bold these
days / underlining is really a leftover from mechanical typewriters
For example:
"The APA Style Manual favors italics, especially for manuscripts being
prepared for publication; however, underlining text is acceptable if
you are using a typewriter or a word processing program that does not
have an italics function."
