HTML - Tag

The HTML  tag is used for the underline tag, which means it underlines the text enclosed within the tag. This tag is generally used to underline incorrect or misspelt words.

The tag is not recommended and ignored because it may cause confusion for hyperlinked text

Syntax

Following is the syntax of tag−

<u>.....</u>

Example

In the following example, we are creating an HTML document and using the tag to underline the wrong word, as follows −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <p>You could use this element to highlight <u>speling</u> mistakes, so the writer can <u>corect</u> them.</p>
</body>
</html>

When we run the above code, it will generate an output displaying the text that is underlined on the webpage.

Example

Considering the following example, we are indicating a spelling error by using the tag and some CSS to display a paragraph that includes a misspelt error, with the error indicated in the wavy underline style.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <style>
      u.spelling {
         text-decoration: red wavy underline;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body>
   <h2> tutorialspoint </h2>
   <h3> Example of u tag including CSS </h3>
   <p>This paragraph includes a <u class="spelling">wrnogly</u> spelled word.</p>
</body>
</html>

On running the above code, the output window will pop up displaying the text along with a CSS applied to it on the webpage.
