Any ideas why it may not be working for me?
Because I did not test before posting :)
Try \framed[align=normal, width=5cm, frame=no]{....}

Awesome! That works great. Before asking I tried searching a lot in metafun manual and on the web but could not find anything. I am not yet clear about the logic. When I saw that I could color labels using the \color[red]{red} command by putting it between btex...etex, it seemed to me that any context command would work if put in there. So I tried \crlf to get a linebreak and that did not work. So I thought maybe only very few specific commands work. Now after seeing your solution, again I am wondering, what determines which commands work and which do not. Anyhow, I am not asking for an explanation, because it will most probably beyond me and may be a long one for someone to explain. But I appreciate the solution. Thanks again.
