Text Formatting ⇒ Underlining autorefs

[jsone]

I would like to underline all links in a document that are created with \autoref. I have tried redefining the command, which works fine for the standard \underline command. To improve on spacing, I tried to use \smash, but that breaks clickability.

My question is: how can I get \autoref to work with ulem or soul? Both attempts result in an Extra }... error. I have tried \texorpdfstring, without any lack.

Code: Select all

\let\Oldautoref\autoref
\renewcommand{\autoref}[1]{\texorpdfstring{\uline{\Oldautoref{#1}}}{\Oldautoref{#1}}

Could someone please assist me in redefining \autoref's internals?
