[Tex/LaTex] How to underline a single word with LaTeX

formattingtext-decorations

Given a simple paragraph, how do I underline a word in that paragraph?

(Note: I post this here because it wasn't really obvious using google or this site and my TexNicCenter is somehow missing this highlighting option.)

Best Answer

Use \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} and then \uline{...}. It allows line breaks in the underlined text. Other forms of underlining (double, waves) or emphasis (crossed out, ...) are also supported. See the image in Url with fragments in bold for examples.
