What did you expect to see?

Just plain < and >

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

FWIW Originally, the redesign did not have underlined links (see here), but we got legitimate feedback that links were harder to discover, so we reverted back to underlining links (like in the old design, see here).

We don’t have plans to remove the underlining of links in general or of these links specifically, so I’m closing this as “won’t fix”.

As a simple workaround, I would suggest avoid linking the operator itself:

@schalkneethling Underlining links makes symbols like + looks a lot like the ± variant.

Is there any chance that the theme might be changed to sort cases like this? I have closed the issue because I think it unlikely, but if you think this might happen we should move and reopen.

I will re-open, move to Yari, and bring it to the attention of the engineering team. Thanks, @hamishwillee.
