Use \hl command to highlight a subsection title

Question

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}

What if I want the color to be green instead of yellow? – Wallflower Jul 01 '21 at 08:05

@Wallflower That's a different question which already has answers, usually stemming around defining a custom macro along the lines of either https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/260566/how-to-reliably-switch-the-highlighting-color-with-soul or https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/352956/how-to-highlight-text-with-an-arbitrary-color – oliversm Jul 01 '21 at 08:10
Thank you for the link! – Wallflower Jul 01 '21 at 08:47

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 Apr 18 '22 at 12:13

@WhoCares the document classes beyond the standard few are a bit of a Wild West. – oliversm Apr 18 '22 at 12:14
I see. So, what do you suggest? It returns errors when I highlight any line includes "" – WhoCares Apr 18 '22 at 12:16
@WhoCares best to make a small example and post it as its own question. – oliversm Apr 18 '22 at 12:27
I followed this advice and then discovered there are Problems with \ref and \cite when using soul for highlighting. – Bill Mar 15 '23 at 16:49
