sublinhando

Sublinhando is a term that refers to the act of underlining. In written communication, underlining is a typographical convention used to emphasize a word or phrase. It can also be used to indicate that a word or phrase is a title of a book, movie, or other creative work, though italics are more commonly used for this purpose today. Historically, underlining was a common way to draw attention to specific parts of a text before the widespread availability of bold text and italics. In handwriting, underlining remains a practical method for highlighting important information. It can also be used in academic settings to denote key terms or concepts in notes. The effectiveness of underlining as a method of emphasis can depend on the context and the reader's familiarity with the convention. In digital environments, underlining can sometimes be confused with hyperlinks, which are typically underlined by default. This can lead to ambiguity if underlining is used for purely stylistic emphasis.
