\starttext

\overbar{test}

\setupbars[color=green,offset=7] \overbar{test}

\setupbars[color=red,dy=7] \overbar{test}

\stoptext =============

offset and dy don't seem to do anything. Also, I don't know the difference between the two params... Please advise.

1. Specify which command you want to change, e.g. “\overbar”.

2. The "offset” key controls the distance between the text and the first rule while “dy” controls the distance between multiple rules.

\starttext

\overbar{left \overbar{middle} right}

\setupbars[overbar][offset=3]\blank[2*line]

\overbar{left \overbar{middle} right}

\setupbars[overbar][dy=3]\blank[2*line]

\overbar{left \overbar{middle} right}

\stoptext

Wolfgang
