Why no underline?

WordPress no longer allows you at add underlining. There are two good reasons for this:

  1. On web pages underlining is often used to differentiate links from other text, so using it as a normal text style is potentially confusing.
  2. Underlining is not often used in modern typography. In the days of typewriters it was the only way to emphasise something but these days we have bold and italic styles which are more effective.
