For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Sorry if this is a question that's been dealt with too many times, but I
wasn't able to find much in the archives.
Do any of you use underlining for anything in in printed documentation? Or
any documentation at all, except for hyperlinks? It's usage seems almost
completely usurped by italics, and I guess a lot of folks are worried that
underlined text = clickable link to users these days.
We're working on some style issues here, and this question came up.
Personally, I can't think of a reason I'd use it except for hyperlinks, but
I am quite capable of overlooking things.
If this is a common question dealt with in the archives, I apologize again,
and I'll go back and try to remember how to search :)
Thanks!
