show groups

Type

command

Summary

Underlines grouped text.

Syntax

show groups

Description

Use the show groups command to display an underline under grouped text.

Text with its textStyle set to "link"is treated specially by the clickText, clickChunk, mouseText, and mouseChunk functions: a style run of grouped text is treated as a single word. This makes grouped text handy to use for hypertext or "clickable text" features.

The show groups command sets the global underlineLinks property to true. It does not affect the stack underlineLinks property, so if a stack's underlineLinks is false, show groups does not display the underlining in that stack.
