<P>We mentioned above that using underlining as a form of text emphasis presents special problems. Actually, TeX has no problem underlining text, because it is a convention of mathematical typesetting. In LaTeX, you can underline words with the command: <PRE> text to be underlined </PRE>
The problem is that underlining will not break across lines, and, in some circumstances, underlining can be uneven. However, there is a LaTeX macro package, ready-made, that makes underlining the default mode of text emphasis. It's called <CODE>ulem.sty</CODE>, and is one of the many contributed LaTeX packages that are freely available via the Internet. <P>To use <CODE>ulem.sty</CODE>, include the command: <PRE> </PRE>
in the document preamble. <P>The packages which are available for LaTeX include: <DL> <DT><B>ifthen </B><DD><P>Include conditional statements in your documents. <DT><B>initials </B><DD><P>Defines a font for initial dropped capitals. <DT><B>sanskrit </B><DD><P>Font and preprocessor for producing documents in Sanskrit. <DT><B>recipe </B><DD><P>A LaTeX2e class to typeset recipes. <DT><B>refman </B><DD><P>Variant report and article styles. </DL> <P>To make the path given in the Catalogue into a fully-qualified URL, concatenate the path to the host name URL and top-level path of the CTAN archive you wish to contact. For example, the top-level CTAN directory of the site <A HREF="ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk">ftp.tex.ac.uk</A> is <CODE>ctan/tex-archive</CODE>. The complete URL of the directory of the <B>refman</B> package would be: <PRE> ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/ctan/tex-archive/ + macros/latex/contrib/supported/refman =
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/ctan/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/refman/ </PRE>
Some packages have more than one file, so only the path to the package's directory is given. <P>When you have the URL in hand, you can retrieve the package from one of the CTAN archive sites listed in section <A HREF="TeTeX-HOWTO-8.html#ctan-list">Appendix A</A>. You can download a complete list of the archive's contents as the file <CODE>FILES.byname</CODE>, in the archive's top-level directory. You can also search the archive on line for a keyword with the <CODE>ftp</CODE> command <PRE> quote site index <keyword> </PRE> <P> <P> <HR> <A HREF="TeTeX-HOWTO-6.html"><IMG SRC="next.gif" ALT="Next"></A> <A HREF="TeTeX-HOWTO-4.html"><IMG SRC="prev.gif" ALT="Previous"></A> <A HREF="TeTeX-HOWTO.html#toc5"><IMG SRC="toc.gif" ALT="Contents"></A> </BODY> </HTML>
