Abstract:

The 'blue underline' has nothing to do with a link (or vice versa). Coloring links blue and underlining them has been some kind of convention in Web environments, but that has not even been standardized. Actually, if you have a useful browser, you can change default settings that your links will be displayed green and italicized.
