Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ underline under the title increasing as per the title length

[annier]

In the format of the thesis templates, when we want to underline the thesis title, how can we write the format of the coverpage or other pages so that the length of the underline depends upon the lenth of the title?

Your question is completely unclear to me, especially since you mention a template, but are not mentioning which one. Please elaborate.

Hi Johannes,
My question is discussing of longer thesis titles. For now, i use the manual way of dividing the title instead of using the preamble definition of title \etitle.
