Smarter Link Underlines about tufte-css

[daveliepmann]

There is some related discussion in Pull #43, including the link you cite. Great minds think alike, and obviously proper link underlining is a concern for lots of people.

I like the link style described in that page, but for the foreseeable future I am enforcing a strict no-additional-dependencies rule, and the pure-CSS version described in PR #43 still has some rough edges to fill out.

I will try to add some language to index.html soon to indicate Eager.io's solution as an external resource for people who want more correct (but also more burdensome) link underlines.

Oh, I didn't see one! (I just searched for is:issue underline, so it didn't turn up PR's).

For anyone interested, here’s a direct link to the (IMHO) well-worth-a-read article about more lovely underlines on Medium: https://medium.com/designing-medium/crafting-link-underlines-on-medium-7c03a9274f9

We have switched to a CSS-only method of underlining that clears descenders. I appreciate everyone's input. I plan to incorporate some of the links @iDGS and @jez gave into the demo doc.
