Web browsing anchored the habit of associating underlined content with links. Underlining content that is not a link risks triggering unnecessary clicks and user frustration. Be careful, this does not require you to emphasize your links.

Objectives

• Prevent unnecessary clicks on underlined text mistaken for hyperlinks.
• Facilitate the identification of links.

Implementation

• Do not use underscore for simple texts or elements that do not constitute links.

Control

• Find all the text in each file that appears underlined in the ebook.
• Check each of these texts to see if they actually behave like links (for example, by being clickable or triggering an action), in order to confirm that they are indeed hyperlinks.
