\overstrikefor a continuous rule through every line.
\understrikebackground color behind the line, like with a marker pen
\overbarsfor a rule above every word.
\underbarsfor a rule under every word.
\overstrikesfor a continuous rule through every word.
\understrikesbackground color for every word.

Description

Examples

Default style and math

\underbar{This is an example. $c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$}

\underbar{\input ward}

gives:

internal error: convert failed

Nested bars

\setupbar[color=red]

\underbar{A \underbar{B \underbar{Cc} b} a}
\blank
\underbar{A \underdot{B \underdash{Cc} b} a}
\blank
\underrandoms{A \overbar{B \underrandoms{Cc} b} a}
\blank

gives:

In MkIV only bars of the same kind are nestable (stacking), in LMTX also mixed.

Overstrike

Draw a rule through every line of the text. 

\setuppapersize[A5]
\overstrike{This is an example. $c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$}

\overstrike{\input ward}
internal error: convert failed

If you are using microtypography with \setupalign[hz,hanging], then with some fonts the rule may end up off-target, above the characters instead of through them. (The problem was experienced with Linux Libertine and mkiv, and not with Latin Modern.) The workarounds are:

  • Put the overstriked text in a \inframed[frame=off]{}. Example:
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
bla bla bla \inframed[frame=off]{\overstrike{striked}} bla bla
  • Turn off microtypography for the paragraph containing the overstrike. Example:
\setupalign[nothanging,nohz]
bla bla bla \overstrike{striked} bla bla

\setupalign[hanging,hz]
bla bla bla bla bla

Underbar for clozes

\definebar[ClozeBar][underbar][continue=yes, color=black, offset=-0.5]

   \stopbar
\stoptexdefinition

\startTEXpage
This is a \Cloze{\color[red]{cloze}} whose underbar is 1.4 times as wide as the text above it. \Cloze{The leading} and trailing spaces are never broken.
\stopTEXpage

gives:
