[NTG-context] Line breaks within TABLE cells

14 Jul 2025

      Hello list,

I am trying to insert a manual line break inside of a TABLE cell, but
can't seem to get it to work. I'm typesetting some mathematical
formulae.

See below minimal:

\starttext
\placetable[here,split,none][table:appendix_notation]{}
{
    \bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch]
    \setupTABLE[row][each][align=center]
    \setupTABLE[column][3][align=right]

    \bTABLEhead
    \bTR
      \bTH Symbol \eTH
      \bTH Constraints \eTH
      \bTH Description \eTH
    \eTR
    \eTABLEhead
    \bTABLEbody

    \bTR
      \bTC \math{\phi_i} \eTC
      % I want a line break right where the first comma is in the next line, but inserting a \\ doesn't seem to work
      \bTC \math{\phi_i \in \mathbb{R},\\ i \in \mathbb{N} \cap [0,\Phi)} \eTC
      \bTC Some random textual description here. \eTC
    \eTR

    \bTR
      \bTC \math{\underline{\phi}_i} \eTC
      \bTC \math{\underline{\phi}_i \in \mathbb{R} \cap [0,1], i \in \mathbb{N} \cap [0,\Phi)} \eTC
      \bTC Some additional random textual description here. \eTC
    \eTR

\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
}
\stoptext

Any help appreciated.
