  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; This package deals with the primitive form of underlining
  26 ;; consisting of prefixing each character with "_\^h".  The entry
  27 ;; point `underline-region' performs such underlining on a region.
  28 ;; The entry point `ununderline-region' removes it.

  33 (defun underline-region (start end)
  34   "Underline all nonblank characters in the region.
  35 Works by overstriking underscores.
  36 Called from program, takes two arguments START and END
  37 which specify the range to operate on."
