Continuous Text Underline

Wrap the words in a <span></span> tag and then style it with css, example below:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8" />

<title>Underlined Words</title>

<style>

.underline_text {

padding: 0 0 2px 0;

border-bottom: 1px solid #000;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<p>This paragraph of <span class="underline_text">text contains a group of underlined</span> words</p>

</body>

</html>

If you absolutely must, use the CSS border property instead.

Incidentally, underlining text in HTML documents is highly discouraged as it implies the underlined text is a hyperlink to more content.   A web page is nothing like a printed page and vice versa.  They each have different presentation rules.

How are you adding the underline exactly?
