I am trying to use the \hl command to highlight a subsection and subsubsection title.

I have tried wrapping the commands in a \mbox or between parenthesis but it doesn't seem to work. They worked with the \ref and \cite commands.

This is what I tried:

\hl{\mbox{\subsection{Section1}}}
\hl{{\subsection{Section1}}}

Put it inside the section command as so:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{soul}
\begin{document}
\section{\hl{Something}}
\subsection{\hl{Something}}
\subsubsection{\hl{Something}}
\end{document}

enter image description here

  • What if I want the color to be green instead of yellow?

    @Wallflower That's a different question which already has answers, usually stemming around defining a custom macro along the lines of either tex.stackexchange.com/questions/260566/… or tex.stackexchange.com/questions/352956/…

    Hey Oliver. This trick didn't work for me. Is it possible that because I am using the Elsevier's cas-dc class file?

    @WhoCares the document classes beyond the standard few are a bit of a Wild West.
