How to create horizontal line for signature?

How to create horizontal line for signature?

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

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.
