tput smso Set standout mode
tput rmso Cancel standout mode

There are four versions of the sgr command
tput sgr 0 1 turn off standout; turn on underline
tput sgr 0 0 turn off standout; turn off underline
tput sgr 1 1 turn on standout; turn on underline
tput sgr 1 0 turn on standout; turn off underline

The actual effects (if any) depend on the terminal's physical capabilities and the settings for it in the terminfo database.

All that and more is in tput's man pages (man tput)
