CTAN Update: soulpos
by CTAN Announcements 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 Javier Bezos submitted the soulpos package. Summary description: Fancy underlining License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package combines soul with the savepos mechanism provided by the pdftex engine, so that you can create (almost) arbitrary underlining and similar ``decorations'', including rules, leaders and even pictures (pgf, pstricks, etc.). Unlike soul underlines, which are built by repeating small elements, here each chunk of text to be underlined is a single element. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/bezos . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/soulpos (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
