HTML underline doesn't work

Alternatively, it would be helpful if there was a special way to underline text (similar to the markdown shortcuts like **). For instance: ==underline this== or something like that. Markdown doesn't officially support underline outside of HTML tags (to my knowledge) so this would have to be made up for Boostnote if it was to be done

Supporting the HTML tags would be fine imo. Introducing a custom syntax as an addition to the Markdown syntax I'd vote against.

have same opinion of @Flexo013 . But allowing some html tags should be useful for lots of people. I'll create another issue about it.

If you really want to introduce new syntax, it would be possible. I'm actually planning to make the app support every markdown format as long as its plugin is available. So what we need to do is creating underline plugin of remark. I could help you to do it because I'm a member of the remark project and I've been making some other plugins, including remark-math.

Possibly. I'm fine with just HTML tags at this point. As far as I can tell, supporting HTML tags is typically part of the markdown spec: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#html

@derekantrican
Yeah, I agree with you. Could you leave some reaction to #389 ?

[Rokt33r]

Closed because #389 covers this. @derekantrican Please follow #389!
