Hi,
Quick explanation: I am trying to implement the concept of the HTML <u> tag, which is supposed to be like a font switch, but doing underlining. I have a bunch of french clients, and this is a requirement I cannot get around. French officials _love_ underlining and uppercasing :(
Because of its flexibility, I try to use text backgrounds, but that seems to only work when the text does not break across lines: when on one line, the background starts and stops at the right spot, great! But if there is a line break, then it underlines complete lines, even for the first and last line.
Is there any way to have underlining + line breaks behave correctly? (perhaps not using text backgrounds at all?)
My current code is attached. works her ebut better is probably:
\definebar[tacobar] [method=1,dy=-0.4,offset=-0.3,continue=yes] \starttext Here is the start of the paragraph {\tacobar hello! (this looks fine)} and some extra text running on to the next line \blank Here is the start of the paragraph {\tacobar \input ward } and some extra text running on to the next line \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
