I have to disagree on that. Off the top of my head, I can't think of
any
site that does it like that. But that's subjective, of course. My
real
point is that making bold text indicate hyperlinks is not a good
idea.
Well the first four sites I went to after reading your comment
don't have the links underlined:
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en.html
http://carlo-domeniconi.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
https://www.audubon.org/birds-of-america
And I've gone to a few other sites since I made note of those, and
NONE have the links underlined (execpt on :hover, if then).
I just found more information about this, here:
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F73.html
...where it says:
Procedure
Check that each link in the page that is identifiable by color
(hue) is visually identifiable via some other means (e.g.,
underlined, bolded, italicized, sufficient difference in
lightness, etc).
Personally I don't like to see underlined links on a page, especially
when there are many. But I think that the above mentioned article tries
to help differentiate itself, using the established (by contrast) and
additional techniques (such as underlining). As the article implies,
this could help other people, which I think is a good thing if it does.
If we're going to use underlining, I suppose we could do something to be
in the middle (so underlined links aren't redundant and tiring). It
could be:
- Split (I don't know how it will be in CSS) the external links with the
internal links.
- For external links, use underlining by default.
- For both cases, use :hover (underlined and maybe with background, as
the w3 site has it).
