In LaTeX this style replaces italics with underlining in emphasized text given by \em or \emph -- but only if the text is delimited by braces. A declaration \normalem (or the \usepackage option [normalem]) restores the normal \em behavior. For underlining in plain TeX, \input ulem.sty, and use the \uline command. Unlike regular underlining, ulem allows line breaks, and even primitive hyphenation, within the underlined text; but it is far from perfect. It is most suitable for simple text like {\em \LaTeX: A document preparation system\/} that may need to be underlined in a manuscript submitted for publication. Again, ulem will only replace \em and \emph when the text is delimited by explicit braces. The thickness of the underline rule is given by \ULthickness; use \renewcommand or \def (not \setlength) to change it. The depth of the underline is controlled by the length \ULdepth. The default value is a special flag which lets the current font control the depth. You can set a particular value to \ULdepth (using \setlength) to force a particular depth, either locally for a special purpose, or for the document as a whole. See the definition of \sout. Every word is typeset in an underlined box, so automatic hyphenation is normally disabled, but explicit discretionary hyphens (\-) will still be obeyed. Several text-formatting commands are specially supported within the underlining: \-, \ , ~, \\, \newline, \linebreak, \nolinebreak, \penalty, \hskip, \hspace, \hfil, \hfill, \hss. Displayed math and \par are deliberately not supported to aid in the detection of runaway arguments (missing braces). The special commands do have a problem: they end a group so any local assignments are lost. The underlines continue between words, and stretch just like ordinary spaces do. Since spaces delimit words, there may be some difficulty with syntactical spaces (e.g. "2.3 pt"). Some effort is made to handle such cases, but sometimes [such as \let\x= y] the space is interpreted incorrectly. You can usually solve the problem by enclosing the offending command in braces or in a macro [\newcommand\xeqy{\let\x= y}], but... One important incompatability with braces and macro replacement: ALL THE TEXT IN BRACES OR COMING FROM A MACRO IS TYPESET IN A BOX. That is, braces will suppress stretching and linebreaks in the text they enclose. Moreover, the specially-taken-care-of commands \-, \\, \newline and \linebreak are usually ignored if they appear inside extra braces. They operate only when the braces delimit a command parameter without introducing a level of grouping. (Even though braces delimiting command parameters do not normally imply grouping, many commands will add their own grouping.) Thus, you should try to limit inner braces to short bits of text or for delimiting parameters to commands. For emergengy repairs, see the "Marat/Sade" example below. Syntactical spaces inside braces never cause a problem, nor do spaces in math mode. Text produced by expansion of a command (macro) is boxed too, but \\, \ and \- still work properly in the expansion text: \newcommand\iff{if and only if} {\em \iff} does not allow any stretching or linebreaking between words, but \newcommand\iff{if\ and\ only\ if} {\em \iff} allows stretching and linebreaking. There is a problem though: the \ between words closes a group and any local assignments will be lost, in particular, font changes. Nested \em commands produce multiple underlining, but heed the warnings about braces above. To get italics without underlining, use \it. Nesting of other types of underline is also possible, but the `underlines' may overlap. HERE IS A SIMPLE EXAMPLE. \noindent 'Twas {\em brillig\/} and the {\em slithy~toves\/} did {\em gyre\/} and {\em gim\-ble\/} in the {\em wabe,\\[2pt] } All {\em mim\-sey\/} were the {\em boro\-goves\/} and the {\em mome raths outgrabe}. HERE IS A DIFFICULT EXAMPLE. \usepackage{ulem} \setlength\textwidth{3.3in} \begin{document} % \large No, I did {\em not} act in the movie {\em \emph{The} % <<<<<<< Nested \emph{Persecu}\-\emph{tion} \emph{and} \emph{Assassination} \emph{of} \emph{Jean-Paul} \emph{Marat}, as per\-formed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direc\-tion of the Marquis de~Sade!} But I {\em did} see it. \end{document} In the nested emphasis, \emph had to be given for each word separately so the spaces between could stretch and break into lines. Even the discretionary hyphen (\-) in `Persecution' had to be outside the braces, but the hyphen in Direction was just fine because it was not in nested braces. The same applies to other special commands like \ and ~. This example really illustrates that ULEM does not handle nested emphasis very well! Nevertheless, it is fine for simple things. Underlining can also be done according to \uline{this text}. To use this type of underlining, but have \em still produce italics, put the command \normalem in the preamble of the document or load ulem with \usepackage[normalem]{ulem}. Some variations on underlining are provided, including a wavey underline (\uwave{under-wave}), double underlines (\uuline{two lines under this}), a line through text rather than under it (\sout{strike out}), text crossed-out with /////// (\xout{cross out, X out}). You can define your own styles following the examples provided. The definition should be something like: \newcommand\command{\bgroup \markoverwith{something}\ULon} Any type of underlining can be substituted for any font-selection command by issuing a proper \useunder declaration: \useunder{\underlinecommand}{\fontdeclaration}{\fontcommand} e.g., \useunder{\uuline}{\bfseries}{\textbf} gives a double underline instead of bold face in LaTeX. The commands \normalem and \ULforem switch underlining for \em off and on, respectively, and so do the \usepackage options [normalem] and [ULforem]. There is also the \usepackage style option [UWforbf] to replace boldface with a wavey underline: \useunder{\UWave}{\bfseries}{\textbf}. This doesn't work in section titles, unfortunately, because the titles are not simple text and are not delimited by explicit braces. In plain TeX you get this with the command \useunder{\UWave}{\bf}{}. You can even skip a step: \useunder{\bgroup\markoverwith{!}\ULon}{\sf}{}! All the underlining commands are robust in LaTeX. % Previous bug-finders: Esther Hu (\hfill in plain); Lones Smith (\tt\-); % Steve Anderson (\ooalign accents). % The bug finders' fee is now $0.00; it will double for each new bug found. % Version 1994: % Many changes!
