Thanks! I've been looking through core-pos to try to understand how I can change the look of this. I can set the colour of the line with framecolor, but I can't seem to adjust the offset. The default appears to be overlay, but this looks ugly as an underline, as it obscures the baseline of the text. I have tried offset=, frameoffset= and backgroundoffset=, but no change occurs.
Then I also tried getting rid of the alternative=1 (what does this do?) and putting frame=off,bottomframe=on, but this produced no output at all.
Is there a way to do it?
you can redefine the metapost graphic, the main thing there is that you draw/fill something related to the multipar paths; it takes a bit of experimenting, but after a while you start seeing possibilities. See plus-rul.tex for an example of such a graphic.
