Difference with default Bootstrap and Bootswatch

[ajspadial]

Description

Default Bootstrap 5 style maintain the basic underline decoration in links. So do most of Bootswatch themes.

However, default Quarto style has removed it. I think basic Quarto drew underlines in links a few years ago. I have found no configuration setting to change that behaviour.

Is there a way to recover underline in links, other that setting my own css/scss?

See (S)CSS theming https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-themes.html (i.e., no you have to use (S)CSS)

And for some settings via the Brand feature: https://prerelease.quarto.org/docs/authoring/brand.html

With Quarto 1.6 it could be indeed added back using new brand feature

---
title: Test
format: html
brand:
  typography: 
    link: 
      decoration: underline
---

Otherwise, this is controlled by $link-decoration SCSS variable. $link-decoration: underline; in a theme file

I think this is a regression Quarto 1.6 compared to Quarto 1.5 due to this

• forward link variables to SCSS #11281

to support brand feature regarding typography on link

• Implement brand.typography.link for HTML formats #11254

The default has been changed to inherit which overwrite previous rule set by bootstrap

quarto-cli/src/resources/formats/html/bootstrap/dist/scss/_variables.scss

Line 462 in 88819d5

$link-decoration: underline !default;

I'll open an issue to discuss this change.
