NAME
ul, hp - print underlines on screen terminals
SYNOPSIS
ul [ -i ] [ -t terminal ] [ file ] ...
hp [ -e ] [ -m ]
DESCRIPTION
Ul replaces backspaced, overstruck underscores by control sequences
suitable for the terminal given by the environment variable TERM or by
option -t. It reads from the standard input or the named files and
writes on the standard output. Option -i represents underlining by a
separate line of `-' characters.
Hp is a filter that presents most nroff output sensibly on HP 2600 se‐
ries terminals. Option -s stops and waits for a newline at the begin‐
ning of each page. Option -e uses `display enhancement' features to
distinguish underlines, superscripts, and subscripts, which are nor‐
mally all shown in inverse video. Option -m squeezes multiple newlines
out of the output.

BUGS
Hp does not reliably handle reverse line feeds as produced by tbl(1);
pipe the input through col to get rid of them; see column(1).
