Fixing the length of underline text












1















I was looking for an example here about setting the lengh of the command underline.
I'm trying to produce a text on top of a line with 10cm fixed length, with text of variable size. In addition the text should be left aligned (not centered as the examples founded here produce)
Here's a minimal example. Thank you.

Not sure what's the problem. Use the [l] option for makebox.



documentclass{article}

usepackage{ulem}

newcommand{wideunderline}[2][2em]{%
uline{makebox[ifdimwidth>#1widthelse#1fi][l]{#2}}%
}

begin{document}

(line 1) wideunderline[10cm]{text here}

(line 2) wideunderline[10cm]{text here with a p}

end{document}
