[NTG-context] columns(ets) and itemize[columns]

[NTG-context] formula-style alignment
Hey again, ntg-context. I would like to align one piece of a line to the left, and another piece of the same line to the right, sort of like numbered math equations, except not math. Additionally I would like to do this inside a narrowed block How can I do this? I have tried side-by-side-frames-inside-a-frame but the two pieces of the line just stay clumped together. I have tried '\startalign' and '\(left|right)aligned' to no avail. I have tried '\hfill' but that pushes things past into/past the right margin... ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] underbar to space
Hi,
I just want to do \underbar{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } for doing
something like: __ . When I do that ConTeXt does not
underbar me the spaces. The same applies for \underbar{\space \space
\space }
How can I get that \underbar underbars the spaces even?
Thanks in advance,
Xan.
