Text Formatting ⇒ Change Underline Thickness

[LavaTyper]

How do I change the underline thickness?

I searched all over the internet but came up with two failed solutions:

[1] http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation ... e/ulem.sty

This website just tells me to use \renewcommand, but didn't say how, and by looking around some of the manuals, \renewcommand seems really confusing for me to figure out.

[2] http://www.howtotex.com/other/underlini ... l-package/

This website suggested an easy solution:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{soul}

\begin{document}
\setul{}{2pt}

\underline{Some underlined text with a 2pt underline}

\end{document}

but it didn't work.

What do I need to do?

Hi Andrej,

use \ul instead of \underline, since \ul is the soul package underlining command:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}
\setul{}{2pt}
\ul{Some underlined text with a 2pt underline}
\end{document}
