underline - Different words? Any rules?
Sometimes for _ I read:
- underline
- underscore
- and a word which begins with high... but I don't know the rest of it.
Are there any rules to use them or can you just chose which one you would like to use?

The third word may be highlight. You know in English some words are used differently though they have the same meaning

Underline and underscore both means emphasizing but underscore is used in American English.The third word may be highlight.They seemed to me interchangable but lets wait for a native speaker answer.You know in English some words are used differently though they have the same meaning

All this words have the meaning of "_".
I ask for rules or varieties.

Hi spinnaker,
if you are asking about the ASCII symbol, then it should be "underscore" ---> _
But when you see a word like this ---> word ----> that word is "underlined" (maybe also "underscored" in American English, but I think the usual word is still "underlined")
Maybe the native speakers will tell us more...
