Underline text

You can easily make text bold or italic in XD, but not underlined. There should be an Underline style or toggle button for creating designs with links, etc.

    Man this one is killing more than missing layers and grids.

  • Stan F commented  ·   ·  Report

    Text underline is definitely a must have function when designing prototypes.

    Peter, can this one be bumped. Surely the overhead to integrate this is not that high...?

  • Hugo Tognolo commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please, add underline to text properties!!! It's so frustrating to use line for it and it almost was a deal breaker for me.

  • Chris M commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just discovered this when adding notes along side artboard. Ended up using italics for content title. Would be nice to have underline text support added soon.

  • Jack commented  ·   ·  Report

    Don't add anything (except this)

  • Jeff Crump commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add the text underline styles that you would get when you write `text-decoration: underline;` in CSS. If you are trying to use Adobe XD for mocking up accessible layouts, you're going to need that more than anything else.

  • M.Salim commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add underline, at least it's the convention for links ! and it is very important to have.

  • Jaroslav Bereza commented  ·   ·  Report

    The next important thing. Please make this lines pixel hinted. We don't want poor blury result like in Photoshop.

  • Jaroslav Bereza commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please be ready for these CSS properties:

    text-decoration-style: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/t/text-decoration-style/
    text-decoration-line: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/t/text-decoration-line/
    text-decoration-color: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/t/text-decoration-color/
    text-decoration-skip: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/t/text-decoration-skip/

    This will be popular after implementing in all browsers.

    This isn't so much a feature, as a basic necessity.

    Overall, I like XD, but it needs a lot more design functionality in the program vs copy/paste from PS and Illustrator. The fact that I cannot do something as simple as underline type is challenging and time consuming compared to Sketch.

  • James commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree with previous comment entirely, this has been the undermining or you might say underlining downfall for underlining in Photoshop and Illustrator. As this textual styling was the original basis for the Internet (textual hyperlinks) and to a degree underpins intuitive journeying through content to this day, I am a little dismayed that this is 'in the backlog'.

    Of course it goes without saying that the addition of an underline in text should also trigger a prototype link function/ability too.

  • HG commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you add underlined text, please also add the option to define the distance of the underline from the text, as well as the color.

  • Austin Guevara commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thanks for your hard work developing such a great tool! Underline is certainly essential, hopefully it will be available soon!

  • James commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really wish this wasn't in the back log guys.
