And just how is this above supposed to remove the underscore?

To OP, the answer is no. There is no attribute of the A element to do 
this your need to use CSS

A { text-decoration: none; }

But if you do so, you must provide some means to identify that you have 
a link or you will frustrate your visitors as they play the game 
"Where's Waldo" hunting for your links.
