General ⇒ underlining spaces

[dmt]

How do I have some underlines appear in the middle of a text by themselves (under spaces and not under other text).

For example:

What word ______ in the blank?

Hi dmt,

you could use \underline with some horizontal whitespace, for example:

Code: Select all

\underline{\hspace{2cm}}
\underline{\hphantom{word}}

Thanks, perfect.
