Hi Mikael,

Thanks for your reply -- I was able to get great results after using the \startbuffer ... \stopbuffer approach.

I'm still a bit of a beginner with ConText so I wasn't clear on what the meaning of the $ symbols in your reply?

The reason I have been using the underbraces is for explaining how botanical naming conventions work.
In certain fields of botany/horticulture, plant types follow certain rules for naming.  Here is a fictitious name
as an example:

Loremphylla mikaelii forma alba 'Aditya'

Genus = Loremphylla
Species = mikaelii
botanical form = forma
Cultivar Epithet = 'Aditya'

The problem I was running into was the labels might have more words than can be contained within the space allotted
on one line (i.e., Cultivar Epithet would not fit in the space on the same line, and hence my question on how to force a \crlf
between those two words).

Best,

Dean

Hi,

Hans will add some annotation mechanism (already on my computer to
test a bit). In your case you can use the first example here:

\startbuffer
\unframed
[align=middle,toffset=0.5cm]
{firstline\crlf secondline}
\stopbuffer

$
\underbrace
[mindepth=0.5cm]
{\tf x + y + z}
_
{\mtext{\getbuffer}}

\quad

\mathannotation
[bottom={\getbuffer}]
{\underbrace
[mindepth=0.5cm]
{\tf x + y + z}
}
$

Since I am the curious type, I wonder a bit what is the use case here?
Do you mind explaining and providing the complete example? (The reason
I ask is that there might be better ways to do what you are doing.)
