The code is usable but far from perfect because I make the rule
of many small parts which length depends on the requested width.

Hello Wolfgang.
I thank you as well. These macros I will also definitely come in handy. 
Sometimes I'm doing tests for my students.

I solved it yet a little awkward, now it is OK.

Thanx Jaroslav

Add “width 0pt” to the \vrule arguments. See also my definition of
\WordGap.

\def\TextGap[#1]%
{\scratchdimen#1\relax
\divide\scratchdimen\plusten
\dorecurse\plusten
{\vrule width \scratchdimen height \linewidth depth \zeropoint\relax
\ifnum\recurselevel<10 \hskip\zeropoint\relax \fi}}

\def\WordGap
{\dowithnextbox{\TextGap[\nextboxwd]}\hbox}

\starttext

a \TextGap[4cm] b \TextGap[4cm] c \TextGap[4cm] d \TextGap[4cm] e

My words: \WordGap{My words}. Why is line very thick here?

Here is an sentence: \WordGap{Here is an sentence} -- linewidth is
OK here.

Here is an sentence: \WordGap{Here is an sentence}. And why is
problem here again?

Re: [NTG-context] Cloze Text (text with gaps)

[Christian Prim]

Thanks David

I think the first one is a very good idea. But I failed to give the
\underbar a color different to the one of the text. Can you help me please?

Thanks
Christian

I haven't tested these ideas...

One possibility: type the answer in white, but give it a coloured
\underbar. (You might need to type longer answers, or in a larger font
size, to leave enough room for hand writing.)

Another: use a \fillinline - you can define the length.

[NTG-context] Cloze Text (text with gaps)

[Christian Prim]

Hi list

I wonder if I can typeset a cloze text using context. The gaps (__)
must have a given length (say in cm or the length of a given word, given
sentence) and must break at the end of a line.

\hl[4] is nice but won't do the trick since it won't break. \fillinline and
others fill the hole line, but I only want to fill a given size.

Are there some ideas how to deal with it?

Example:

The name of the _ is _
. And now it's time to go to bed.
Some more text.

Hope you get the point.

Thanks in advance
Christian
