Squiggled
Details and Options

- Squiggled displays text with a wavy line in the underline position, such as is commonly used in spell checking.
- Squiggled can use any option that is documented to apply at the style level. This includes font options such as FontSize, FontWeight, FontSlant, FontFamily, FontColor and Background.
- By default, the typeset form of Squiggled[expr] evaluates to itself, including the Squiggled head. With the option StripOnInputTrue, the typeset form evaluates to expr without the Squiggled head. »
- Squiggled[expr,color] is effectively equivalent to Style[expr,FontVariations{"Underlight"color}].
