I've had a last-minute impossible request for a typesetting style, and having already told the person it can't be done in the time available, wondered whether it can actually be done at all.
The request is for a subsection heading to have a continuous horizontal rule under both its number and title, at a distance of about 6pt from the baseline (i.e. not underlining), extending just the length of the heading. I can do that by setting both number and title in a TABLE, setting the offsets and specifying the bottom frame to be on - no problem. However, the tricky part is that where a longer title runs beyond one line, the line should only appear under the last line, and only to the length of the last line of text. In other words, for viewers with fixed width fonts: 1.1.1 Short title ----------------- 1.1.2 Longer title which wraps onto a second line like this --------------------------- We generate the ConTeXt code from XML, so ideally a solution wouldn't require the last line to be set separately, but would just work whether the heading was single or multiple line. What I'm really looking for is a subsection setup that will automatically do this whatever length of title. I have to say I think it's quite ugly, but can anyone give me a pointer as to how it could be done? Is there a box left at the end of a par which shows the width of the last line? As I say, I've already said no, so this is just out of interest, no urgency.
