[Bug 334491] [NEW] soul package doesn't work with diacritical marks

[Marek Jancuska]

Public bug reported:

Commands from soul package don't work if their argument contains
diacritical marks. For example, if a LaTeX file contains \st{č}, i get
the following error message:

! Argument of \UTFviii at two@octets has an extra }.
<inserted text> 
                \par 
l.31 \st{č}
            
? R
OK, entering \nonstopmode...
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
<to be read again> 
                   \par 
l.31 \st{č}
            
The control sequence marked <to be read again> should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.


! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:�\endcsname not set up for use with 
LaTeX.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.31 \st{č}
            
Your command was ignored.
Type  I <command> <return>  to replace it with another command,
or  <return>  to continue without it.

l.31 \st{č}
            
A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.
You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections
so that I will find a matching right brace soon.
(If you're confused by all this, try typing `I}' now.)

I came across hyphenatable material enclosed in group braces,
which I can't handle. Either drop the braces or make the material
unbreakable using an \mbox (\hbox). Note that a space
also counts as possible hyphenation point. See page 4 of the manual.
I'm leaving a black square so that you can see where I am right now.
