Hi,

I would like to add a continuous underbar under a paragraph or a title as in:

\setupbar
    [color=red,offset=10pt]
\starttext
\underbar{Test this \high{\tfxx ®}}
\stoptext

... but I'm confused about two aspects:

- How can I prevent \high{} from shifting the underbar?

i need to think about it .. maybe an option

- How can I add more offset?

underbar is derived from the parent but has its own offset and an offset is relative to the baseline and a fraction of th eunit (normally the ex of a font)

\setupbar[underbar][color=red,offset=-.5]

\starttext

\underbar{Test this \high{\tfxx ®}}

\stoptext

The color keyword works, but offset doesn't seem to have any effect
even though it's listed in the reference.

I was able to address the second problem (adding more offset) with
something like
    \definebar[BarU][offset=-0.7]
    \startbar[BarU] ... \stopbar
but I wasn't able to get rid of the shift (and the bar had a different
thickness when a smaller font was used).

I can find ugly workarounds with frames, but it would be ideal if I
could get one of the underbar mechanisms to work "out-of-the-box".

just see how underbar is defined ... if you want fixed dimensions you should used a fixed unit (not one derived from the current font)
