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

• In each file containing underlined content :
  • Identify underlined texts in ebook;
  • Controlling the nature of these contents to verify whether they are actually hyperlinks.
