 Alles rechtens. Everything is fine and nobody cheated.

  The down side is, that its widths is not perfectly aligned with the
  location and date.
  
  I guess there is something simpler to do it. I looked at Wolfgang’s
  letter module but could not figure out how it is done there.
 
 The module doesn’t draw a rule for the signature.

I see. I thought I was just missing something.

  Something like the examples posted for LaTeX on Stack Exchange [3] for
  ConTeXt would be nice.

 \stopTABLE

As always thank you so much for the fast answer. I am always a bit
reluctant to use tables for this, thinking of it only as displaying data
with a table. This is from back in the HTML days were tables were used
for formatting. But I guess tables are perfect for aligning things.


Thanks,

Paul

Re: [NTG-context] [solved] How to create horizontal line for signature?

2011-12-13 Thread Philipp A. 
i always use tikz anyway, so i can as well use it for something like this:

\tikz[baseline=(start)]\draw (0,0) coordinate (start) edge[label=below:Your
Name here] (4cm,0);

untested, tell me if it doesn’t work.

it should do the following: name a coordinate “start” and draw a line
horizontally 3cm with “Your Name here” as label below.
