U - underlined text

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

Syntax:
<U>This will all be underlined</U>

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

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

OFP Briefings are NOT, repeat NOT html.   They are a law unto themselves based loosely on html.    ALL html codes DO NOT work in Briefings and Overviews, except those that do.

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).

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

...thats confusing  ???

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

Once I've tried to embed flash and midi into briefing... But no success.  :-\
OFP uses very limited amount of tags i'd say.
<html> </html>
<head> </head>
<body> </body>
<p> </p>
<a> </a>
<hr>
<br>
<b> </b>

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]
<p>...</p>...or...
Code: [Select]
<P>...</P>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.

Its definately an .html file type; why would you need to save it as an .html file extension if its not?
