Package not compatible with `xcolor` package #7

Closed jasperhabicht closed 1 year ago

jasperhabicht commented 1 year ago

As has been shown in a Q&A on TeX.SX, the soul package is not compatible with the xcolor packge, because both use the same macro (\dimen@) to temporarily store different values and the soul package needs the stored value after the xcolor package has already redefined the value inbetween.

The above link also provides a workaround for this problem: The problem can be easily solved by changing the name of the macro \dimen@ to something else (for example \SOUL@dimen).

the fix has been already implemented. With soul 2023-02-18 v3.0 the example in the question works fine.

Sorry, I just read the comments in the other thread where you already said that there has been an update. I just updated my local installation and can confirm that it works fine. I close this issue then.
