# LaTeX Command for a Hand-Written Underline [![make](https://github.com/yegor256/handstroke/actions/workflows/l3build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/yegor256/handstroke/actions/workflows/l3build.yml) [![CTAN](https://img.shields.io/ctan/v/handstroke)](https://ctan.org/pkg/handstroke) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg)](https://github.com/yegor256/handstroke/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) A plain, ruler-straight underline blends into the text and is easy to miss. This LaTeX package underlines a word or a phrase with a line that looks drawn by hand: it wavers a little, stands apart from the letters, and catches the reader's eye where an ordinary rule would go unnoticed. The package draws the stroke with the [pgf] package. First, [install it] from [CTAN] and then use in the preamble: ```tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{handstroke} \begin{document} Please, don't forget \handstroke{this}! \end{document} ``` Otherwise, you can download [handstroke.sty] and add it to your project. If you want to contribute yourself, make a fork, then create a branch, then run `l3build ctan` in the root directory. It should compile everything without errors. If not, submit an issue and wait. Otherwise, make your changes and then run `l3build ctan` again. If the build is still clean, submit a pull request.
