underscore

Control the behaviour of "_" in text.

With the package, \_ prints an underscore so that hyphenation of words either side of it is not affected; a package option controls whether an actual hyphenation point appears after the underscore, or merely a break point. While in text, ‘_’ itself behaves as \textunderscore, but its behaviour in maths mode is not affected.

Instructions for use appear at the end of the package file.
