How to Underline Text in HTML5

If you want to underline text in HTML5, you can use the underline tag. This will apply a line underneath the text that you wrap the tag around.

Example:

Here is an example of how to use the underline tag:

This text is underlined.

It’s important to note that the underline tag is deprecated in HTML5, but it is still widely supported by browsers. It’s recommended to use CSS to style text, but for a quick and simple underline, the underline tag can still be used.

Styling with CSS:

If you prefer to use CSS to underline text, you can use the text-decoration property with the value underline:

<style>

.underline-text { text-decoration: underline; }

</style>

Then, you can apply the class to your HTML element:

<p class="underline-text">This text is underlined with CSS.</p>

Using CSS allows for more flexibility and control over the styling of the underline, such as its color, thickness, and position. However, for simple underlining, the underline tag can still be used as a quick solution.

Whether you choose to use the underline tag or CSS, both methods will allow you to underline text in your HTML5 documents.
