Re: how to underline or italic a single word in lyric?

Hi Jay,

Yes… But as you know, there's only so much hand-holding the documentors can do: 
once they've indicated (a) that markup can be used in Lyrics and (b) how one 
applies underlines, italics, etc. to markups, I imagine there are much more 
important improvements to be made in the docs than linking those two concepts 
explicitly.

Cheers,
Kieren.
