ADDENDUM:

There is still another problem: The fixed leading space may be eaten away by a 
line break.

\definebar[ClozedBar][underbar][continue=yes, color=black]

Dear Hans,

thanks a lot for your solution!

I have added "color=black” to \definebar to prevent the bar’s color from 
changing at a line break, which happens otherwise:

\definebar[ClozedBar][underbar][continue=yes]
%\definebar[ClozedBar][underbar][continue=yes, color=black]
\unexpanded\def\Clozed#1{\ClozedBar{\zwj\quad#1\quad\zwj}}
\starttext
\Clozed{\color[red]{CLOZE 1}} text text text text text text text text text text 
text
\Clozed{\color[red]{CLOZE 2 CLOZE 2}}
\stoptext

Now the extra space is hardcoded by \quad. I guess it’s not so easy then to 
make the underbar’s width a factor times the input text width? Or, 
alternatively, an explicitly given width?

Cheers,
Florian

in next beta you can specify an empty option which will remove the text 
(otherwise one can still copy it from the pdf):


\definebar[ClozedBar][underbar][continue=yes,empty=yes]

Dear list,

I would like to create cloze texts for my students with ConTeXt.

Ideally, I would have a command \cloze[]{} with the following 
functionality:

1) \cloze{} would insert an underlined gap in the text with a width 
of (say) 1.3 times the width of solution and puts the solution on top of it with 
centered alignment. I will then color the text read if the mode is ‘teacher’ and in 
white if not.
2) \cloze[]{} would do the same, but with a fixed width of the 
underline. The solution should then be flush left, maybe with a horizontal space of \quad.
3) The underline should allow for line breaks and hyphenation, but not such 
that only empty space is broken into the next line of left in the previous (see 
MNWE).

In this way, the student’s and teacher’s versions of the script will look 
exactly the same, except for the visible solution in the teacher’s version.

The macro \underbar does a good job in terms of line breaks and hyphenation. But it is 
"too smart" in the sense that it does not underline horizontal spaces. The MNWE 
below showcases problems with my naive attempts to achieve underlining:
- CLOZE 1 does not have any extra space.
- CLOZE 2 does not underline the horizontal spaces.
- CLOZE 3 does not show the underline, supposedly because the first text 
elements in it are white.
- CLOZE 4 shows that introducing fake characters is not a good idea anyways 
because the cloze is broken without any “real” solution in the first line.
- CLOZE 5 shows the same for trailing space.

MNWE:
\starttext
\input ward
\underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 1}}
\input ward
\underbar{\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 2}\quad}
\input ward
\underbar{\color[white]{x}\quad\color[red]{CLOZE 3}\quad\color[white]{x}}

space \underbar{\color[red]{CLOZE 5}\qquad\color[white]{x}} space
\input ward

I would greatly appreciate help with this problem.
