Please, can the forced underlining cease?

<https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/links-no-default-underline/> is not effective against the force.

I worked around the double underline pictured below by preferring a different font. I'm left with unwanted underlining.

You can use a CSS injector (such as this one) and put the following to globally disable decoration (therefore underlining) on the page, although you can edit it to be more specific if you'd like.

* {
    text-decoration: none !important;
}

Thanks, I don't want to lose underlining entirely (I do want it when pointing at a link).

Pair this with the other CSS I posted. Seems to be somewhat broken though, decorations may have the wrong color.

a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline !important;
}

Haven't tried this because I don't care, but if I did, I would probably go with this solution since it doesn't require any addons.

You could try

u tt { text-decoration:none; }

What's really sad is that the

tt

element has been obsolete for maybe 20 years.

YYY__ thanks, I already worked around that issue with the extension that's mentioned in the opening post.

Thanks. Tested OK, I added the combination to a previously created style.

I'll be nice if The FreeBSD Forums can change, to not require the override (to work with extensions such as Default links not to be underlined).

Is text-underline a real property? I tried doing something like this (with text-decoration) and it didn't work, and this also doesn't work. I don't know why, seems like it should to me, but I'm no CSS expert.

I think it's interesting it has the tt style set to have underlining and a <u> element around it.

Good idea adding this btw.

man-dev.freebsd.org is an interesting one, underlining is not actually used. Whoever wrote it chose to use borders instead.

a {
    border-bottom: none !important;
}

Edit: Sorry, I put the wrong code.

Thanks, there's now a separate topic:

<pre> text column width at man.freebsd.org

Spun off from I got text at man-dev.freebsd.org to run wider (first screenshot below, ). I can't figure out how to achieve the same with man.freebsd.org (second shot, (Konsole to the right)). Is it possible?

I usually make up my own properties at 3:00 in the morning but this time I was watching television at the same time. Edited and corrected.

Strike-through becomes non-struck (at <https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/639070>, for example).

For now, I disabled the parts of the style override that affect strike-through.

Better to have the unwanted underline, than loss of strike-through.

Also, use HTTPS for the links.

http://⋯ URLs will redirect, but better to use https://⋯. Thanks
