shows that underline formatting isn't working. BTW, when I was
reading the BoostBook and DocBook specifications, I couldn't find
direct style formatting elements such as "underline" and "italic;"
instead there were "semantic" things like "emphasis." (**) So what
BoostBook do these quickbook tags actually generate?
It generates <emphasis role="underline"> which gets translated into HTML
as <span class="underline">. But our CSS doesn't do anything with that.
We just need to add:
span.underline
{
text-decoration: underline;
}
This change has already been made in the QUICKBOOK_INCLUDE branch. Shall
I port it to MAIN in time for 1.33?
<aside>
The FOP generator seems to do the right thing with <emphasis
role="underline">, so things are underlined correctly in PDF. For some
reason, the HTML generator doesn't translate that into the correct HTML
tags to make underline work without the CSS hack. I don't know why.
