On my REPO.
Working with fonts a bit lately I learned some things. In this new version, what appears to be a camera icon embedded in post text is actually 5 font characters on top of each other with different colors.
This is how I also figured out a way to get actual underlines under the text. This is a lot harder than it seems because not only do I have to put a non-advancing underline character before each character of the underlined phrase, I have to do it without putting it under the formatting characters (like color and bold) and then on top of that try not to underline leading and trailing spaces. I think it's working pretty well, but please let me know if you notice any weirdness with the underlining. Underlines trailing off the end of a word are normal, because I have to use and underline character that is as wide as the widest likely character for this to work.
Also, note that long posts with a lot of color may display improperly towards the bottom of the message. This is an XBMC text formatting bug which I've already reported.
hasselhof: Your posts on the hub were very helpful in testing the underlines, considering how much underlining they had
