 Description  « Hide
In Confluence 1.4.x the inserted text notation output <ins>inserted text</ins> making it really easy to add styles to inserted text (useful for marking up changes to legal documents, etc). However, in Conf 2.x the same notation seems to output <u>inserted text</u> - as underlined text is used elsewhere it's now rather more difficult to style insertions. Also, it seems a bit of an odd change because deletions still output <del>deletions</del> and it would be nice if the corresponding tag was used for insertions.

(Originally raised by Guy Fraser on conf-user list.)

yes, it has always confused me as to why italics arent represented as /text/ and underlines as text ... these conventions have been around since my old 1200/75 baud BBS days, seems a shame to ignore them!

Reopened and closed as Won't Fix (as of 2.2.5).

CONF-6450 means that we need to use <u> to markup underlined text. Our WYSIWYG editor won't work in Internet Explorer if we use <ins>.

If you want to style just underlined wiki content, you can use:

.wikiContent u { /* styles here */ }
