## Underline, bold and italize text

We can print bold, italicized, and underlined text using the commands `\textbf`, `\textit`, and `\underline`, respectively. 

For example:
```
\textbf{Bold text} 
\textit{Italic text}
\underline{Underlined text}
```

This example produces the following output:

```
\underline{\underline{Double underlined text!}}

\uuline{Double underlined text!}
```

produces the output:

## Dashed and dotted underline

The commands `\dashuline{}` and `\dotuline{}` as their names state can be used to create dashed and dotted lines under text respectively. Check the following code:

\dashuline{Dashed Underline}

\dotuline{Dotted Underline}
```

which produces the following output:
