I am still trying to make a useful environment for paper feedback
forms. One thing I am trying to do now, is to but lines on the back
for when someone needs more space to give the feedback. For this I
made the following macro:
\def\PageWithComment[#1]{
\page
#1
\crlf\crlf
\thinrules[n=35,inbetween=\vskip1.5ex]
\page
}
There are several needed optimisations.
For starters the number of lines is hard coded. Is there a way to
calculate them?
\def\PageWithComment[#1]%
{\page
#1
\blank[2*line]
\getnoflines{\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-3\lineheight\relax}
\thinrules[n=\noflines]
\page}
I tried something like that, but that generated 32 pages. Had properly
to do with the inbetween.

I changed it to:
    \def\PageWithComment[#1]{
      \page
      #1
      \blank
      {\switchtobodyfont[2.3em]
       \getnoflines{\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-3\lineheight\relax}
       \thinrules[n=\noflines]
      }
      \page}

For the inbetween by thinrules I use 1.4em, but to get the same space
I need to use here 2.3em. Do not know why.
