Good morning together,

I want this:

\starttext

\starttable[|l|l|]

\HL

\NC First Entry \\ (Explanation) \VL Second Entry \AR

(Unrelated, but you are using a wrong syntax. Each row should be: \NC .... \NC ... \NC \AR)

\HL

\stoptable

\stoptext

That is, line break after "First Entry", but without leaving the first cell (first row, first column). The code does not work, how to?

Use p column instead of l column \starttable[|p|l|] ... \stoptable BTW, I think that it is better to use Natural Table or tabulate instead of table environment. For example, you can write: \startTABLE \NC First Entry \\ (Explanation) \NC Second Entry \NC \NR \stopTABLE Aditya
