U - underlined text

Description:
The U tag underlines the text it encloses. Gaps between words in the enclosed text are also underlined.

Syntax:
This will all be underlined

Attributes:
No Attributes.
Taken from http://www.html4newbies.com/

But... nope, that doesn't seem to work in OFP briefings, while This will all be bold does.

Knowledge of html is a significant disadvantage when working with Briefings and Overviews.

Well, I found my knowledge of html to be VERY helpful when I started working with OFP briefing.html and overview.html files (even though not all html tags are recognized by OFP).
:P

That's my point, you don't know which tags work and which don't.

Fortunately, I didn't know any html before, and I don't know any now, so I'm in the clear. ;D

I never seen an underlined text in briefing from BIS, so my guess that it's not possible.

OFP uses very limited amount of tags i'd say.
<html> </html>
<head> </head>
<body> </body>
 
<a> </a>
<hr>
 
 

Sorry if i missed something. ;D

I don't think so. Not at all. XML is case sensitive, HTML isn't.
If it was XML it should make a difference if you'd write...
Code: [Select]
......or...
Code: [Select]
...In OFP briefings and overviews this makes no difference at all.

From an official BIS briefing.html (not briefing.xml or briefing.xsl) file:
Code: [Select]
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage Express 2.0"> <title>Titulek</title> </head> ...Any doubt about what type of document that is? I do not think so.

Also, the initialization of an XML file would look something quiet like this...
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes/no" encoding="UTF-8"?>...or at least...
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>...wouldn't it? I never saw an OFP briefing or overview file that had something like that in it. To be honest, I dunno sh*t about XML files, but... anyway.
;)
