How to underline in markdown

In this post, we will see how we can underline a text in markdown.

Markdown does not have any syntax to underline, however, we can use the <u> HTML tag to underline any text in our markdown documents.

Underline a text using the <u> HTML tag

hello, this text is <u>underline</u> in markdown

Output:

hello, this text is <u>underline</u> in markdown

Using <ins> tag

We can also use the <ins> HTML tag to underline in a markdown document.

The <ins> tag is the HTML insert tag and it displays as underlined. And so we can use it for underlining.

hello, this text is <ins>underline</ins> in markdown using ins tag.

Output will be

hello, this text is <ins>underline</ins> in markdown using ins tag.

Conclusion:

Between the <u> and <ins> tag, it is better and is recommended to use the <u> tag, because it is exactly what it does.
