How can I define a dotted underbar in ConTeXt?

How can I define a dotted underbar in ConTeXt?

[Laurent d'Airsy]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 105 bytes --]

I would like to create a dotted underbar in ConTeXt with the
\defineunderbarmechanism.
Is that possible?

not yet (but one can use inline text backgrounds to achieve this)

i'm playing with some extensions to the underbar code but it might take 
a while before i consider the interface stable enough but when it's 
there one can do dotted or whatever one wants

i uploaded a beta where you can test:

test {\red\underrandoms{test me}} and \underrandom{test} or 
\underrandom{grep} \blank
test {\red\underdashes {test me}} and \underdash  {test} or \underdash 
{grep} \blank
test {\red\underdots   {test me}} and \underdot   {test} or \underdot 
{grep} \blank

still somewhat experimental

Hi Hans,

Thanks for this new nice feature!
However it seems to me that \underdashes produces dots under ords, while \underdots produces dashes…
Is it on purpose?

Also the name \underrandoms seems misleading too.



Best regards: OK

How do you change the thickness of the dots (i.e., set the value of 
RuleFactor)?

rulethickness

and, as you like challenges ...

\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{overarrow}
     drawarrow ((0,RuleFactor/2) -- (RuleWidth,RuleFactor/2))
         withcolor RuleColor
         withpen pencircle scaled RuleThickness ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definebar[overarrow] [mp=overarrow,continue=all]

test \overarrow{\red\zwj\leaders\nohrule\hfill\zwj} test

\stoptext

While you are looking at the code, there was another question on 
tex.stackexchange on bars:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291946/overstrike-in-context-can-it-overstrike-leaders

How to get bars to work with leaders?

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\starttext
\overstrike{Hello\hfill world!} % Works OK

Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world! % Works OK, nothing special

\overstrike{Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world!} % Not quite right
\stoptext
