Text Formatting ⇒ How to control underline length

[Jill D Holloman]

Hi there,

I have a question about underline:basically I want to get the effect that make the underline span all the textwidth, is there anyway to achieve it?

I search lots of solution, no luck.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jill,

welcome to the forum!

Instead of directly underlining text, you could put that text into a box and underline that box:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\underline{\makebox[\textwidth][c]{Some text}}
\end{document}
