underline package

Underline a heading, e.g. for reStructuredText or Markdown -- quick & easy.

Usage

Invoke the "underline" command to underline a line of text with the character typed last below that line.

Example:

A headline you typed
-

If you invoke at this state the command (i.e. after typing "-" and the cursor is next to "-"), it will result in underlining the heading text with "-"

A headline you typed
--------------------

Similarly, you can use any other character to underline, e.g.:

A headline you typed
~

and invoking the command will result in:

A headline you typed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is useful for reStructuredText or Markdown flavours, in case you use this kind of heading style.

Command invocation

You can invoke the command using one of the following methods:

• Use the keyboard shortcut: ctrl-alt-h
• Use the context menu -> Underline
• Us the menu "Packages" -> "Underline" -> Create underline

FAQ

• I want to underline with a "~" (or "´", "`"), but why do I get a strange character ("ª") when I try to run the underline command?

  • The reason is that the editor is still in a special mode after typing "~", "´" or "`" and interprets the keyboard shortcut differently. You first have to press space therefore and then the keyboard shortcut.
