Hi list
I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__________)
must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given
sentence) and must break at the end of a line.
\hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and
others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size.
Are there some ideas how to deal with it?
Example:
The name of the _____________ is _____
________. And now it's time to go to bed.
Some more text.....
Hope you get the point.
Thanks in advance
Christian

I haven't tested these ideas...
One possibility: type the answer in white, but give it a coloured
\underbar. (You might need to type longer answers, or in a larger font
size, to leave enough room for hand writing.)
Another: use a \fillinline - you can define the length.

Thanks David
I think the first one is a very good idea. But I failed to give the
\underbar a color different to the one of the text. Can you help me please?
Thanks

Hello Wolfgang.
Here is example of other using of your TextGap.
There is a problem in some lines? Why linewidth is change?
Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar
\def\TextGap[#1]%
{\scratchdimen#1\relax
\divide\scratchdimen\plusten
\dorecurse\plusten
{\vrule width \scratchdimen height \linewidth\relax
\ifnum\recurselevel<10 \hskip\zeropoint\relax \fi}}
\def\textgap#1{\setbox0=\hbox{#1}%
\TextGap[\the\wd0]%
}
\starttext
a \TextGap[4cm] b \TextGap[4cm] c \TextGap[4cm] d \TextGap[4cm] e
My words: \textgap{My words}. Why is line very thick here?
Here is an sentence: \textgap{Here is an sentence} -- linewidth is OK here.
Here is an sentence: \textgap{Here is an sentence}. And why is problem
here again?
\stoptext

Add “width 0pt” to the \vrule arguments. See also my definition of \WordGap.
\def\TextGap[#1]%
{\scratchdimen#1\relax
\divide\scratchdimen\plusten
\dorecurse\plusten
{\vrule width \scratchdimen height \linewidth depth \zeropoint\relax
\ifnum\recurselevel<10 \hskip\zeropoint\relax \fi}}
\def\WordGap
{\dowithnextbox{\TextGap[\nextboxwd]}\hbox}
\starttext
a \TextGap[4cm] b \TextGap[4cm] c \TextGap[4cm] d \TextGap[4cm] e
My words: \WordGap{My words}. Why is line very thick here?
Here is an sentence: \WordGap{Here is an sentence} -- linewidth is OK here.
Here is an sentence: \WordGap{Here is an sentence}. And why is problem here again?
\stoptext

Hello Wolfgang
thanks for both \TextGap and \WordGap. That is exactly what I needed!

Hello Wolfgang.
I thank you as well. These macros I will also definitely come in handy.
Sometimes I'm doing tests for my students.
I solved it yet a little awkward, now it is OK.
Thanx Jaroslav

The code is usable but far from perfect because I make the rule
of many small parts which length depends on the requested width.
