Retaining link properties in a published solution

Retaining link properties in a published solution

When I create a solution in the editor it shows the secondary links I create as blue and underlined.  When I publish the solution the links seem to be the same color as the text surrounding them and are not underline so there is not way for someone to notice the links unless they mouse-over them by chance.

How can I get my secondary hyperlinks to be in a unique color and underline once published?  The attachment shows how, while editing the solution the link appears as blue with an underline.  The lower image shows how it appears in the customer portal.  Do the settings in Themes override what the editor shows?
