Description

The <u> HTML tag, short for "underline," is a deprecated HTML element used to apply underlining to text within a web page. While it was commonly used in the past to emphasize or highlight text, it is no longer considered a best practice in modern web development. Instead, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is now the preferred method for controlling the visual presentation of text, including underlining. Developers typically use CSS properties like 'text-decoration' to apply underlines to specific text elements, allowing for more flexibility and control over styling while separating content from presentation in accordance with web standards.
