Line breaks within TABLE cells

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. -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com

Any help appreciated.
This \\ for linebreak is sort of a historic feature and not the in terms of 'indicating intentions' ... that said, you can just \breakhere which seem to work as intended. It makes no sense to create a \\ alias for that.
