I've just looked through the revent page too and I can find find no
mention of overline either. Maybe that explains why I could never find an
"overline" feature on MS word. Will putting "overline" tags in an RTF file
break file importers? ie If overline is only available on abiword, is
there a way to prevent this from crashing other programs? Have we just
"embraced and extended" RTF?
