<u>
The <u> element is typically used to apply underline highlighting
to the content of the element. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more
semantically appropriate element is not available. For example, for specific
items such as GUI controls, use the <uicontrol> element.
Note
Style sheets can be used to format the <u>
element differently, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not
the case that
content in <u> elements will necessarily be rendered as underlined.
