 > What do you mean by "without emphasizing it further"? It is underlined
 just to draw attention (to highlight)? If bold or italic don't work, maybe
 `<mark>` could work well here? This usually has a background colour, but
 sometimes underline. Any reason it can't be bold?

 `<mark>` may well work, but it's not readily available to the end-user.
 The example shows a text that is being highlighted by the person quoting
 it, whereas an emphasis or strong emphasis comes from the original author.
 Different contexts.

 > I don't remember seeing underlines in academic writing on philosophy in
 the form of web pages. Could you provide any examples? Thinking about
 plato.stanford.edu etc.

 I have to go digging.
