Long underscore in LaTeX
I'm writing a document in which I encourage the reader to "fill in the blanks" in order to be actively engaged with the proof.
Is there any way to write a clean, long underscore? Currently I'm using \underline{\hspace*{2cm}}, but it doesn't look so great...
Here's a sample of my text:
\begin{thm}
$A \subset B$ if and only if $A \cap B = A$.
\end{thm}
\begin{proof}
Assume $A \subset B$.
We want to show $A \subset (A \cap B)$ and \underline{\hspace*{2cm}}.
The first fact is true since: $A \subset B \Rightarrow$
if $x \in A$ then \underline{\hspace*{2cm}} $\Rightarrow$
if $x \in A$ then $x \in A \textrm{ and } B$.
The second fact is true by \underline{\hspace*{2cm}}.
Conversly, assume \underline{\hspace*{2cm}}.
By the first property again, $B \supset$ \underline{\hspace*{2cm}},
so we have \underline{\hspace*{4cm}}.
\end{proof}
\rulecommand instead to have more control over the look of the underscore. – Alan Munn Dec 02 '11 at 18:25
