Hi Raleigh,
This Applescript snippet
<https://gist.github.com/mixio/9d9a7cd873b931341e34042233b8ef7e> is a bit
of a hack that takes advantage of Unicode combining codepoints to create a
p͇s͇e͇u͇d͇o͇ ͇u͇n͇d͇e͇r͇l͇i͇n͇e͇ ͇s͇t͇y͇l͇e͇.
It works by inserting the combining underline codepoint (U+0347 COMBINING
EQUALS SIGN BELOW) after each character of the selection, skipping
linefeeds.
Applying the script on a selection will u͇n͇d͇e͇r͇l͇i͇n͇e͇ it.
Applying the script on a selection that already contains some
u͇n͇d͇e͇r͇l͇i͇n͇e͇ will remove all the selection's underlines.
Applying the script when all of the document is selected (after a
"Select All") will removes all the document underlines.
You can find / replace / mark the u͇n͇d͇e͇r͇l͇i͇n͇e͇d͇ ͇s͇e͇c͇t͇i͇o͇n͇s͇
with this regular expression:
((?:(?:.\x{0347})+\n?)+)
