General ⇒ Placing Rule Beneath Text

[Gus]

Hi there,

I have been having a little trouble placing an extended line beneath some text. What I want to do is to have a few words, and underneath these words have a line that extends to the end of the current line - as if the text is underlined but the "under line" keeps going for the width of the line. Something like this:

some words______________________________________________


I have tried to use:

Code: Select all

Text \\
\rule{\linewidth}{0.1mm}

My problem though, is that the rule ends up on the next line and too far underneath the text. I tried changing the "raise-height" of the rule, but it then leaves too much white space underneath the line.

If anyone has any ideas about what I could do it would be much appreciated.

This issue is stunning easy to solve.

Code: Select all

Text
\hrule

I stumbled across this solution some time ago.
