Hi,<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t think the following trick has come up yet.  If you are<br>
only exporting to HTML, you can do:<br>
<br>
@&lt;u&gt;e@&lt;/u&gt;vent<br>

&gt;&gt; Not without some code I think.<br>

&gt; D&#39;oh - as John Hendy points out, you can do it by hand:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; --8&lt;---------------cut here---------------start-------------&gt;8---<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; #+begin_html<br>
&gt; &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;u&gt;a&lt;/u&gt;ctionable&lt;br/&gt;<br>
&gt; &lt;b&gt;b&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;u&gt;b&lt;/u&gt;ibulous&lt;br/&gt;<br>
&gt; &lt;b&gt;c&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;u&gt;c&lt;/u&gt;alifragilistic&lt;br/&gt;<br>
&gt; #+end_html<br>
&gt; --8&lt;---------------cut here---------------end---------------&gt;8---<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; It always amazes me how fixated I can get on the wrong approach.<br>
