Text +like this+ should use the sematic <ins> rather than <u>.

      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.)

            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 */ }

            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!
