title: Underline in RMarkdown to Microsoft Word
body: <p>I am trying to figure out in RMarkdown how to underline some words.  If I am knitting to HTML I can do this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;u&gt;These words are underlined&lt;/u&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Which works fine in that case.  But the underlining is not persisted when I knit to Microsoft Word.  I don't believe any changes have been made to RMarkdown to natively do it such as the commands for bold and italics.  Any suggestions?</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
