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

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
