  26 ;;; Commentary:
  27
  28 ;; This package deals with the primitive form of underlining
  29 ;; consisting of prefixing each character with "_\^h".  The entry
  30 ;; point `underline-region' performs such underlining on a region.
  31 ;; The entry point `ununderline-region' removes it.
  32
  33 ;;; Code:
  34
  35 ;;;###autoload
  36 (defun underline-region (start end)
  37   "Underline all nonblank characters in the region.
  38 Works by overstriking underscores.
  39 Called from program, takes two arguments START and END
  40 which specify the range to operate on."
  41   (interactive "*r")
  42   (save-excursion
  43    (let ((end1 (make-marker)))
  44      (move-marker end1 (max start end))
  45      (goto-char (min start end))
  46      (while (< (point) end1)
  47        (or (looking-at "[_\^@- ]")
  48            (insert "_\b"))
  49        (forward-char 1)))))
