The corresponding technique in typeset text is to switch -from upright to italic text (or vice-versa): the LaTeX command -<code>\</code><code>emph</code> does just that to its argument. -<p/>Nevertheless, typographically illiterate people (such as those that -specify double-spaced -<a href="FAQ-linespace.html">thesis styles</a>) -continue to require underlining of us, so LaTeX as distributed -defines an <code>\</code><code>underline</code> command that applies the mathematical -‘underbar’ operation to text. This technique is not entirely -satisfactory, however: the text gets stuck into a box, and won’t break -at line end. -<p/>Two packages are available that solve this problem. The -<i>ulem</i> package redefines the -<code>\</code><code>emph</code> command to underline its argument; the underlined text thus -produced behaves as ordinary emphasised text, and will break over the -end of a line. (The package is capable of other peculiar effects, -too: read its documentation, contained within the file itself.) -The <i>soul</i> package defines an <code>\</code><code>ul</code> command (after which the -package is, in part, named) that underlines running text. -<p/>Beware of <i>ulem</i>’s default behaviour, which is to convert the -<code>\</code><code>emph</code> command into an underlining command; this can be avoided by -loading the package with: -<pre> - \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} -</pre> -Documentation of <i>ulem</i> is in the package itself. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>ulem.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ulem.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ulem</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ulem/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/ulem.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>soul.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/soul.zip">macros/latex/contrib/soul</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/soul/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/soul.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=underline">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=underline</a> -</body> |
