[accessibility] Underline links in app

[notabene]

Issue details

Accessibility requirement: never rely on colour alone to convey information, as some people may either:

• have contrasted themes (for instance yellow on blue: every foreground text, border, etc. becomes yellow, every background becomes blue), which make it impossible to determine functionality based on colour alone.
• have trouble seeing colours (for some forms of colour blindness).

The basic rule is: anything conveyed by colour should also be conveyed by another graphical means (eg. shape). Basically, for links the convention is usually to underline them.

Duplicate?

no (searched for issue, does not seem to exist yet)

Actual behaviour

• Open an article,
• Hyperlinks are just a different colour.

Expected behaviour

• Open an article,
• Hyperlinks are a different colour and are underlined.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Display any article.
2. See that links are not underlined.

Thank you for the report!

The web app does use some underlining, and I don't remember whether the Android app intentionally uses a different style. I don't have the time to get into it myself, but I think the team should be open to changes like that (changes to themes or maybe a separate option), if anyone is willing to help.
