Hi @DrJian

You can write a class that extends pydocx.export.PyDocXHTMLExporter and overwrite the method export_run_property_underline.

I`ve made a example:

# coding: utf-8

from pydocx.export import PyDocXHTMLExporter
from pydocx.export.html import HtmlTag

class PyDocXHTMLExporterUnderline(PyDocXHTMLExporter):

    def export_run_property_underline(self, run, results):
        tag = HtmlTag('u')
        return self.export_run_property(tag, run, results)

html = PyDocXHTMLExporterUnderline('test.docx').export()

with open('output.html', 'w') as output:
    output.write(html)
