# Description

Use the hide groups command to remove the underline from grouped text.

Text with its textStyle set to "link" is treated specially by the clickText, clickChunk, mouseText, and mouseChunk functions: a style run of grouped text is treated as a single word. This makes grouped text handy to use for hypertext or "clickable text" features.

The hide groups command sets the global underlineLinks property to false. It does not affect the stack underlineLinks property, so if a stack underlineLinks is true, hide groups does not remove the underlining in that stack.
