Text Formatting

Hi,

How can I generate text where I start \underline, then start \textbf, then end \underline, then end \textbf?

I don't see any real problem in this respect, apart from the fact that underlining should generally be rather avoided.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Text with \underline{start underline \textbf{start bf}} \textbf{end underline}
and end bf. Also possible and somehow better would be \underline{start underline \textbf{start bf}}\textbf{ end underline}
\end{document}

Note: \underline is like \fbox and therefore does not provide line breaks! It should not be used for more than a single word.
