Hi, In the underneath example, how do you get each word replaced by an underline ? Or, if not possible, underlined word groups with correct underline breaks for multi-line phrases. \def\UnderlineA#1% {\underbars{#1}} \def\UnderlineB#1% {\underbars{\phantom{#1}}} %{\underbar{\phantom{#1}}} \definetextbackground[underline][% location=text, alternative=1, background=, frame=off] \def\UnderlineC{% \groupedcommand {\starttextbackground[underline]} {\stoptextbackground}} \starttext Thus, I came to \UnderlineA{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineA{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineB{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineB{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. Thus, I came to \UnderlineC{the conclusion} that the designer of a new system \UnderlineC{must not only be the implementer and first} large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext Thanks, Alan
