APA style italicizes certain elements (e.g., book and journal titles) in printed publications but  recommends underlining those elements in manuscripts. The use of underlining to represent  italics becomes a problem when you compose  texts for online publication. On the World Wide  Web, underlining in a document indicates that the  underlined word or phrase is an active hypertext  link. (All HTML editing programs automatically  underline any text linked to another hypertext or  Web site.) When composing Web documents, avoid underlining. Instead, use italics for titles, for emphasis, and for words, letters, and numbers referred to as such.
