Bugzilla comments are plain text - so typing <U> will produce less-than, U, greater-than rather than underlined text. However, Bugzilla will automatically make hyperlinks out of certain sorts of text in comments. For example, the text "http://www.bugzilla.org" will be turned into a link: http://www.bugzilla.org. Other strings which get linkified in the obvious manner are Please stick '<', 'U', '>' and 'less-than', 'U', 'greater-than' in <TT>.

Comment on attachment 249575 [details] [diff] [review] does this work? This attachment does not produce <tt> output around <u>, it produces bold output. I'm guessing, this is not what you want.

I believe Markdown (bug 330707) is the proposed solution for this. Gerv

(In reply to Gervase Markham [:gerv] from comment #4) > I believe Markdown (bug 330707) is the proposed solution for this. this particular request isn't something that we should implement. formatting should happen via markdown, not embedded html.
