Underlining with ulem package breaks footnotes

Question

For some reason, footnotes do not seem to work with the ulem package.

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{ulem}
\begin{document}
    \uline{test\footnote{note}}
\end{document}

gives

! Undefined control sequence.
\@footnotemark ...rk \ifhmode \spacefactor \@x@sf 
                                                  \fi \relax 

when I try to compile it using pdflatex. Is there any chance to fix this or some kind of workaround?

Answer 1

Put problematic parts in a box (see the documentation). But -- as Heiko reminds in the comment -- if you put the whole footnote in the box you will lose the text. So you should use \footnotemark/\footnotetext:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ulem}
\begin{document}
    \uline{test\mbox{\footnotemark}}\footnotetext{note}\uline{ blalbalb}\footnote{blub}
\end{document}

Answer 2

Two variants of underlining:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{ulem}
\begin{document}
 %   \uline{test\footnote{note}}

 \uline{test}\footnote{note}

or

{test}\footnote{ \uline{note}}
\end{document}
