OK. I'll use a combination of underlining and shading (using @Box with
no line or margin and painting in light grey) instead.

Thanks!

PS It does seem to me that just as you can have

    @Box linewidth{none}margin{0c}paint{lightgray}{some text}

it would be nice to be able to have

    @LineUnder linewidth{0.5p}style{single}{some text}
and
    @LineOver linewidth{0.5p}style{double}{some text}

and that these could be made out of code similar to @Box?
