Inappropriate?That's funny... is underlining broken in that link you just posted? -
Inappropriate?I'm not sure what you're asking about - in the examples, a <raw> tag was used to show how to type out the markup.
Is there something else that's broken and I'm just missing it?</raw> -
Inappropriate?now you're making me feel crazy...
Looking at the source I see this:
Here it is at a glance:
|Effect|Preceding|Text|Following|
|**Bold**|<raw>**</raw>|word|<raw>**</raw>|
|''Italic''|<raw>''</raw>|word|<raw>''</raw>|
|__Underlined__|<raw>__</raw>|word|<raw>__</raw>|
| -Strikethrough- | - |word| - |
but the underlined text is not underlined...
at least on my machine... is it for you?
-
Inappropriate?Wow. No, not crazy, I think that's me not being able to see past my own nose. Am looking into right now.
Wow. -
Inappropriate?Alright, after some emergency experimentation, it appears that within a table, you must have a space before the two underscores to make the underline work.
It doesn't show the space, so visually it looks fine, but the space will be in the source code.
Thanks for your sharp eyes!

This answers the question
-
By using 2 _ (underscore) before and after, text can be __underlined__: __word__
I think you want a space before that colon -
Inappropriate?I think that there are a variety of places where underline doesn't work correctly... like in the one that I initially posted about ... __**test**__ versus
**__test__**
Seems like the part of the code that takes care of underlines just isn't as well written as the code that does bold and italics...
although I'm pretty sure that this was a bug that was only introduced a few months ago because your http://yummy.pbwiki.com/WikiStyle page used to work properly... as well as several pages on http://elothtes.pbwiki.com (like the front page) that suddenly had __things__ appearing all over... at the time I didn't know about getsatisfaction so I didn't report it..
but it'd be wonderful if you guys un-broken it... -
Inappropriate?We're looking into this more fully right now, thanks for the heads up on other instances where the underline doesn't work.
-
Inappropriate?Wow... time flies.... I know that this worked properly at one point because we built a few pages using underline and it wasn't until later that they starting showing up __like this__
-
Inappropriate?What seems to happen is if there's anything in front of a __ other than a space [ ] or the start of a new line, it dies. When Tim brought this up initially, I happened to have our head of Engineering sitting right next to me, and he started looking at the code immediately. So no worries, we are on it :)
