An act or instance of marking text with an underline.
Underlining was developed for mechanical machines like this Underwood typewriter which had no bold or italic type. The only way to emphasize text that was typewritten was to back up the carriage and type underscores beneath the text. Underlining was a workaround for shortcomings in typewriter technology.
