Dear All,
I have fixed this by using:
label.rt(textext("\framed[frame=off,align=right]{One\\Two}"),origin);
And what about proper tables there? Replacing One\\Two in the above code with $ \startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \stopmathmatrix $ or \starttable{|cm|cm|} \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \stoptable does not work for me. It complains about "dotripletestemptyx", but that seems to be some low level utility code and the error messages say nothing to me :( ConTeXt ver: 2009.08.14 10:48 MKIV Sincerely, Michail

sure, i'll also do the same with getbuffer, as often using buffere is convenient in such cases: \unexpanded\def\getbuffer {\dodoubleempty\dogetbuffer} \starttext \startbuffer[a] $\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \stopmathmatrix$ \stopbuffer \startMPcode label.rt("\getbuffer[a]",origin) ; \stopMPcode \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
