\underbar not allowing line-breaking
A quick question: \underbar is demonstrated in the manual as allowing lines to break normally (page 204). In my texts line breaks won't happen in an underlined phrase, meaning that they stick out into the right hand margin. Is this a known problem, or does it work for other people? Thanks Duncan dh@capdm.com
In answer to my own question, and possibly as a bug report: line breaking within \underbar{...} is broken when used in conjunction with \setupalign[{right,nothyphenated}] Duncan

it is not possible to do that with normal rules since they get attached under the word; you may give \underbars [plural] a try) or the more obscure: % output=pdftex \starttext \definetextbackground [underbared] [alternative=1,location=text, background=,frame=] \def\underbared {\groupedcommand {\starttextbackground[underbared]} {\stoptextbackground}} \underbared{\input tufte\relax} \stoptext typical an example for a MyWay document -) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

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? Also, when a line break occurs the underlining stretches out to the right further than the end of the line - is there any way to stop this happening? Thanks Duncan dh@capdm.com

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.
