Re: [NTG-context] Cloze Text (text with gaps)

Thanks David I think the first one is a very good idea. But I failed to give the \underbar a color different to the one of the text. Can you help me please? Thanks Christian 2013/6/27 David Rogers

I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__________) must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given sentence) and must break at the end of a line.

\hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size.

Are there some ideas how to deal with it?

Example:

The name of the _____________ is _____ ________. And now it's time to go to bed. Some more text.....

I haven't tested these ideas...

One possibility: type the answer in white, but give it a coloured \underbar. (You might need to type longer answers, or in a larger font size, to leave enough room for hand writing.)

Another: use a \fillinline - you can define the length.
