What is the recommended method for creating multi-line labels in MetaPost in MKIV, please? I have the following code:

\definetextext[mplabel]{\framed[frame=off,align=middle]} \starttext \startMPpage input mp-tool;

draw fullcircle scaled 5cm; label(\sometxt[mplabel]{One\\Two}, (0,0)); \stopMPpage \stoptext

which gives a line feed between One and Two using MKII, but no line feed in MKIV.

\defineframed[mplabel][frame=off,align=middle]

\starttext \startMPpage draw fullcircle scaled 5cm ; label(textext("\mplabel{One\\Two}"),origin)) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext

Wolfgang

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still don't get a line feed! I am using ConTeXt from 15-May-2010, has something changed since then?

in pack-rul.mkiv add \unexpanded here:

\unexpanded\def\vboxednewline  {\endgraf\ignorespaces}

\unexpanded\def\hboxednewline  {\unskip\normalspace\ignorespaces}

and then remake the format

(it's a side effect of nested framed usage)

Thanks Hans, that works. Will this change be added to the next release, or do I have to re-apply it manually? Is \sometxt not recommended now? Should I be using textext throughout?
