How can I use `uline` from the `ulem` package to underline text inside a `colorbox`?
0
Screenshot:
I have the following code:
uline{No underlining for colorbox{lightgray}{everything} inside the colorbox.}
Which looks like this:
How can I get a continuous line for the text inside colorbox, too?
MCVE:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
begin{document}
uline{No underlining for colorbox{lightgray}{everything} inside the colorbox.}
end{document}
Constraints:
I cannot use soul and I think plain underline doesn't look very good. (By the way, those who can use soul should have a look at Underline text with background (soul and ulem nesting) )

One way is to underline in a box first:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
begin{document}
sbox0{uline{hspace{fboxsep}everythinghspace{fboxsep}}}
uline{No underlining for colorbox{lightgray}{hspace{-fboxsep}usebox0hspace{-fboxsep}} inside the colorbox.}
end{document}

Wow, okay. Thanks! :-) That's more complicated than I thought it would be. I meancolorboxis inside ofuline, I thought there would be a simple way to raise the "z-index" of the line or something like that... Can you explain why the line doesn't show up in front of the colorbox?

@Jayjayyy not exactly, I started to trace but didn't have much time yesterday so i just nested the uline (the hspace are so the line spans over the fboxsep padding in the colorbox)
– David Carlisle
Jan 2 at 19:06
Yes, it's definitely a valid answer to the question. :-) Unfortunately, I cannot use it like this because I cannot change the content insideulineI'm afraid. Do you think there is hope for a solution without nesting?

@Jayjayyy you could redefineuline so that locallycolorbox` is defined as I show above, or (given theulineworks withfboxsomeone may suggest a different extension so that it works directly with colorbox..
