How do you underline text?

Also how do you underline math?

Best Answer

Preface: You should really consider to use macros like \emph for emphasizing text. Underlining is from the typewriter-era and is not necessary anymore.

You have some options:

  • the macro \underline which is pretty inflexible
  • the package ulem (best to load with normalem option) and its macro \uline (supports linebreak)
  • the package soul and its \ul
