I guess it works fine for me on beta 2019.01.07 16:10. On Tue, Jan 15, 2019 at 8:37 AM Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Hi,

Quick explanation: I am trying to implement the concept of the HTML <u> tag, which is supposed to be like a font switch, but doing underlining. I have a bunch of french clients, and this is a requirement I cannot get around. French officials _love_ underlining and uppercasing :(

Because of its flexibility, I try to use text backgrounds, but that seems to only work when the text does not break across lines: when on one line, the background starts and stops at the right spot, great! But if there is a line break, then it underlines complete lines, even for the first and last line.

Is there any way to have underlining + line breaks behave correctly? (perhaps not using text backgrounds at all?)

My current code is attached.

Best wishes, Taco

Have you tried \underbar{\input ward\endgraf}? Aditya
