Abstract

This article describes the soul package, which provides h y p h e n - a t a b l e l e t t e r s p a c i n g ( s p a c i n g o u t ) , underlining and some derivatives such as overstriking and highlighting. Although the package is optimized for LATEX2$\epsilon$, it also works with Plain TEX and with other flavors of TEX like, for instance, ConTEXt. By the way, the package name soul is only a combination of the two macro names $\backslash$so (space out) and $\backslash$ul (underline)—nothing poetic at all.
