Hi,
Quick explanation: I am trying to implement the concept of the HTML <u> tag,
which is supposed to be like a font switch, but doing underlining. I have a
bunch of french clients, and this is a requirement I cannot get around. French
officials _love_ underlining and uppercasing :(
Because of its flexibility, I try to use text backgrounds, but that seems to
only work when the text does not break across lines: when on one line, the
background starts and stops at the right spot, great! But if there is a line
break, then it underlines complete lines, even for the first and last line.
Is there any way to have underlining + line breaks behave correctly?
(perhaps not using text backgrounds at all?)
My current code is attached.
Best wishes,
Taco

works her ebut better is probably:
\definebar[tacobar] [method=1,dy=-0.4,offset=-0.3,continue=yes]
\starttext
Here is the start of the paragraph
{\tacobar hello! (this looks fine)}
and some extra text running on to the next line
\blank
Here is the start of the paragraph
{\tacobar \input ward }
and some extra text running on to the next line
\stoptext

Thanks for testing. Sorry, I should have checked myself.

I had that earlier, but unfortunately there is also the <s> tag,
and this does not work the way I want:
%%%
\definebar[tacobar] [method=1,dy=-0.4,offset=-0.3,continue=yes]
\definebar[tacoover][method=1,dy=-0.4,offset=0.5,continue=yes]
Here is the start of the paragraph
{\tacobar hello! ({\tacoover this} looks fine)}
and some extra text running on to the next line
%%%
Because the \tacoover makes the \tacobar disappear :(

If the text has constant interline spacing, you can try to mimick the old
(mkii) underbar mechanism. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/125486/323
for an example. I haven't tested this with nested backgrounds, but it
should work.

Have you tried \underbar{\input ward\endgraf}?
