meta post query (MK2) re underlining
I have been using \definetextbackground[underline] [location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off] for underlining in my documents and \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset} \iftracepositions show_multi_pars \else draw_multi_pars \fi ; path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-StrutDepth/2) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic to control the depth of the underlining. Unfortunately, this underlining is still sometimes too far beneath the word underlined. I had thought the problem is the -StrutDepth/2. But even if I change it to an absolute value, the underlines to not appear at the same distance even when the word. Try this test file: \definetextbackground[underline] [location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off] \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset} \iftracepositions show_multi_pars \else draw_multi_pars \fi ; path p ; p := boundingbox currentpicture ; currentpicture := currentpicture shifted (0,-.50) ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext Donec \startunderline{gravida}\stopunderline{} posuere arcu. Donec \startunderline{gravida}\stopunderline{} posuere arcu. Donec \startunderline{gravida}\stopunderline{} posuere arcu. Donec \startunderline{gravida}\stopunderline{} posuere arcu.

Donec \startunderline{gravida}\stopunderline{} posuere arcu. \stoptext What I need is underlining that occurs at a fixed/constant distance below the words underlined (allowing for descenders, of course, when they are present). Any suggestions? Alan

Many thanks, Hans. That looks much better now. Alan On Jul 16, 2010, at 4:29 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:
