I must correct myself, the difference between ulem and soul is not that one allows line breaks while the other does not. More precisely, both handle line breaks, but soul is able to honor hyphenation patterns, while ulem is not. If one wants a (underlined/stricken-through) word to break with ulem, the hyphenation has to be done manually. Best, Gustavo.

I know this is a very old thread, and that perhaps this boat has sailed
definitely.
But it seems to me that the attempt to use soul back then eventually
backfired because soul does not handle utf8 properly, as Feng Shu’s
issue demonstrated. Indeed it does not. But there is a patch to soul,
by Heiko Oberdiek, to handle this precise issue, and it is the package
soulutf8.
I’ve checked the commit history around the time of this thread, and it
seems soul, rather than soulutf8, was the attempt
(https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/95eeefa9bca1b6c57fe62c248a0a35302cd7374d).
Neither soul nor ulem is very active nowadays, but are used quite
extensively, as far as I know (from following TeX.SX). And both have
their limitations. But the ability to have line breaks is a clear edge
of soul, and the reason of the original request which started this
thread.
So, if the only reason to prefer ulem back in 2013 was utf8 support,
perhaps soulutf8 might be worthy of your reconsideration.
Best regards,
Gustavo Barros.

Indeed. According to

introducing soul package in default packages list was meant to provide
underline and strike-through features. I fixed it in maint.

Re: [O] Org-mode latex pdf export issue: Underlined lines not breaking properly
Hi Sanjib, This is a known LaTeX issue that has nothing to do with Org. Please check the LaTeX packages ulem.sty and soul.sty or simply don't use underlining -- it's anyway ugly. Best regards -- Michael Strey www.strey.biz

It is indeed a LaTeX issue! And I have an answer too :). Org mode
translates _underlined text_ to \underline{underlined text}, however if
you read the TeX.sx question referenced below you will see that it
doesn't support line breaks and the TeX community recommends \uline{..}
from the ulem package.
http://TeX.stackexchange.com/a/13382/4416
For now you can write a filter to alter the LaTeX source[1]; for the
long haul you should start a separate thread asking to change the
defaults in Org mode. However I'm not sure if that is desirable since
it introduces an extra LaTeX package dependency to handle corner cases.
Hope this helps,

Re: [O] Org-mode latex pdf export issue: Underlined lines not breaking properly
Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. For an user like me, who depends heavily on org-mode for several purposes, a basic feature like this (underline) is frequently used. Though it is ugly or (may be) not used for serious published materials, but for personal usage, this is very handy and very often I do pdf export my .org files. I wish, org-mode provides an easier solution as not everybody is familiar with lisp codes. Again, thanks a lot. - *Sanjib Sikder *
