I would like to create a dotted underbar in ConTeXt with the \defineunderbarmechanism. Is that possible?

not yet (but one can use inline text backgrounds to achieve this) i'm playing with some extensions to the underbar code but it might take a while before i consider the interface stable enough but when it's there one can do dotted or whatever one wants Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

i uploaded a beta where you can test: test {\red\underrandoms{test me}} and \underrandom{test} or \underrandom{grep} \blank test {\red\underdashes {test me}} and \underdash {test} or \underdash {grep} \blank test {\red\underdots {test me}} and \underdot {test} or \underdot {grep} \blank still somewhat experimental Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, Thanks for this new nice feature! However it seems to me that \underdashes produces dots under ords, while \underdots produces dashes… Is it on purpose? Also the name \underrandoms seems misleading too. Best regards: OK

test {\red\underrandoms{test me}} and \underrandom{test} or \underrandom{grep} \blank test {\red\underdashes {test me}} and \underdash {test} or \underdash {grep} \blank test {\red\underdots {test me}} and \underdot {test} or \underdot {grep} \blank

still somewhat experimental

no, will be fixed in next beta

Also the name \underrandoms seems misleading too.

i needed a name and it's kind of random

Best regards: OK

How do you change the thickness of the dots (i.e., set the value of RuleFactor)? Aditya

While you are looking at the code, there was another question on tex.stackexchange on bars: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291946/overstrike-in-context-can-it-o... How to get bars to work with leaders? \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \starttext \overstrike{Hello\hfill world!} % Works OK Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world! % Works OK, nothing special \overstrike{Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world!} % Not quite right \stoptext Aditya
