Hello,
is there any way to make hyphenation work when using \underbar?
Perhaps you can try some of the techniques in Chapter 10 of Metafun manual. There is no mention of hypenation, but looking at Fig 10.3 it seems that hypenation is taken care of. Working with a rectangular region should be easier, but then one needs to take care of pagebreaks.....
Actually, if I'm thinking about extending \underbar to handle such situations, then I'm ready to put some effort into fixing it (since it might be useful in the future as well). But considering my document: using metapost is too much overhead to underline just a couple of sentences. (To be honest: now I switched to bold instead since I'm running out of time anyway.)
rather tricky i.e. kind of impossible to do \underbars (plural) at least split at word boundaries anyhow, underbar is from the typewriter time and just a poor mans emphasis thing Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
