I'm trying to set up a The One Ring game for a bunch of pals and some information that gets put on the character sheets needs to be underlined, however, I can't seem to find any way to do that. I know Roll20 uses basic Markdown but it doesn't seem to be able to underline things which is odd. I've seen a video of a group playing TOR and they had underlined text on their character sheets (using the one provided on Roll20) so it must be possible.
Anyone know of a solution?
The GM Notes and bio fields in the bio/info tab can have underlined text. The fields in the character sheet tab cannot be underlined.

Video in question was uploaded July of 2017, did Roll20 phase out some sort of text formatting since then? Seems like a shame.
Ah, it looks like the sheet there is using conditional formatting based on other attributes. At a guess, if the checkbox is checked, the item is underlined. This isn't done by markdown formatting or another similar formatting language though. This is purely a css driven display change.

Thought that at first as well but checking the checkbox doesn't underline it (I think the checkbox is just used to say "I'm going to invoke this special skill" within TOR as it changes roll outcomes based on specific player/enemy stats, not sure if you're familiar with TOR).
I've also tried copy/pasting underlined text from Discord into the character sheet box, but alas, it didn't work.
Sorry, my last post wasn't clear. I was saying that was what was going on in the image you posted. I'd guess that the sheet author removed that css styling for some reason.

Ah, gotcha, my bad. That's a shame. Is there any way for Free players to alter character sheets at all or is that not a feature on Roll20?
Without a pro sub you don't have any way to test your changes and so you won't know if you've fixed the sheet or just broken it more. Is the underline that big a deal? It looks to me like it's just replicating the info that you get from seeing the checkbox (I don't know the system, so I could easily be wrong).

I'd say it'd be more of a quality-of-life thing. The underlined text denotes that a character or enemy is extra-proficient with a particular weapon and so can choose to use a point of one of their stats (Hope for players and Hate for enemies) in order to buff their attack, whereas having the checkbox checked just adds +[number] to any attack rolls.
I can just foresee some of my players forgetting to uncheck the checkbox when attacking normally and using up all of their Hope, is all.
EDIT: Actually, having the checkbox checked only adds a buff to enemy attack rolls for some reason, I guess the checkbox is just bugged for player characters as it seems to do nothing right now.
The old sheet was recently broken with the upgrade to Roll 20 text editor, I fixed the underlining for Favored skills 22 days ago, but if you are still having a issue let me know and Ill look at the sheet. {use the roll20 character sheet for TOR/don't do custom and past the code (You may need to reload the character sheet) if you loaded it before the update took effect. also don't use the websites One Ring API a lot of the code is broken. I have also updated all the one ring API and Macros, I have uploaded to Github and have updated Roll20 The One Ring wiki to show the current API and Macros. https://github.com/Aragent/The-One-Ring-API
I have updated all of michael Heilemann work
my Github is Aragent
please let me know if the character sheet is still not working for you.
