The precise formatting of the text file can be controlled by a
variety of configuration directives. They are listed in the

So, for example, you could write

+\cw{\\text-chapter-underline\{\\u203e\}\{\-\}}, and Halibut would use
the Unicode \q{OVERLINE} character where possible and fall back to
the ASCII minus sign otherwise.
