Research direction

Start by locating the rendering logic that gives names beginning with _ special meaning and inspect how those attributes are accessed publicly. Decide whether the issue's proposed prefix change or getter approach fits the existing API, then verify that rendering still works without public use of _attributes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Attribute names starting with _ have special meaning in the rendering logic. PEP8 notes these should be reserved as a 'weak "internal use" indicator'.
Either the rendering logic needs updating (e.g. prefix with c_ not _) or getters provided.
