Dear ConTeXt folks, sometimes you need to insert a line for signature. I could not find anything usefull especially `\underbar{\hspace[10*\big]}` [2] did not work. I ended up abusing `\framed` [3]. \starttext \startstandardmakeup[align=right] Alles rechtens. Everything is fine and nobody cheated. \blank[medium] London, den 28.\,June 2011 \blank[3*big] \framed[width=5cm, frame=off, topframe=on]{\small John Doe} \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext The down side is, that its widths is not perfectly aligned with the location and date. I guess there is something simpler to do it. I looked at Wolfgang’s letter module but could not figure out how it is done there. Something like the examples posted for LaTeX on Stack Exchange [3] for ConTeXt would be nice. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/FAQ#How_can_I_get_a_horizontal_space_with_a_de...

The module doesn’t draw a rule for the signature.

I see. I thought I was just missing something.

As always thank you so much for the fast answer. I am always a bit reluctant to use tables for this, thinking of it only as displaying data with a table. This is from back in the HTML days were tables were used for formatting. But I guess tables are perfect for aligning things. Thanks, Paul
i always use tikz anyway, so i can as well use it for something like this: \tikz[baseline=(start)]\draw (0,0) coordinate (start) edge[label=below:Your Name here] (4cm,0); untested, tell me if it doesn’t work. it should do the following: name a coordinate “start” and draw a line horizontally 3cm with “Your Name here” as label below.
