Sorry, I thought it was clear.

What I meant is that there's no way in Texinfo to give some text the
underline typeface.  Texinfo only has @emph (typeset as slant),
@strong (typeset as bold), and @sc (typeset in small capitalized
letters).  You can also request specific fonts with @b (bold), @i
(italic), @r (roman), @sansserif (sans serif), @slanted (slanted), and
@t (fixed-width, a.k.a. "typewriter").

For anything else, you will have to escape to TeX, AFAIU.
