Underline inline markup?

[Boris Kheyfets]

Is it somehow possible to have an underline inline markup? I know I can use :title: -- but it's somehow crooked way of getting things underlined.

Use a custom role and style it with CSS and/or in the LaTeX preamble.

See http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#custom-interpreted-text-roles

Hello Gunter

I tried:

.. _doc:

.. role:: underlined(raw)
   :format: html
   :style: text-decoration: underline;

######
 Test
######

:underlined:`test` test text.

and this:

.. _doc:

.. role:: underlined(style="text-decoration: underline;")
   :format: html


######
 Test
######

:underlined:`test` test text.

but none works (both give errors). What do I do wrong?

Boris.

This creates a role based on the raw role, i.e. it expects the content to be
raw html.

Instead, write

.. role:: underlined

and a CSS rule to style ``span.underlined`` in a custom style sheet.


Suggestions/patches improving

to make this more clear are welcome.

It works!

I've added

span.underlined {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

to default.css

and

.. role:: underlined

:underlined:`test underlined`

to the test.rst and it is underlined!

Thank You!
