The org-manual.org file uses underlining to indicate an application name, such as ditaa, and the underlining starts at the first letter and ends at the last
letter. How is this done?

Does enclosing the text inside underscores (_like this_) not work?

Also, I'm looking at `doc/org-manual.org' from git, as of commit 4611c2b, and it doesn't seem to use underlining. When I search for `ditaa', I don't see any
special markup around instances of the word.


And I don't see any special markup now that I remembered to disable the spell-checking I had activated to help translate another document to Australian English :/

When I use org-underline

What is org-underline? I don't seem to have that function in my org-mode (main branch, as of the commit listed above). Using org-emphasize with the underscore
character seems to work as expected as well.

Sorry about this. I took the name from a Spacemacs menu that calls org-emphasize with the underscore character.

As a final thought, does your Emacs have the org-fontify-emphasized-text variable set to nil? That would explain the behavior you're seeing, as the underscores would appear before and after the text to be underlined, but the underlining itself would not take place. Do you see similar behavior with *bold*
or /italic/ text?

I have org-fontify-emphasize-text set non-nil. Now that spell-checking is off the underlines appear as expected.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the user error noise.

All the best,
Tom
