[NTG-context] crlf in textext?

2011-12-15 Thread Hans van der Meer
Is it correct that the use of textext(label,pos) in MetApost pictures does not 
honor \crlf?
I could not make a twoline text with textext(abc\crlf xyz,pos), it comes out 
as one line abcxyz.
Is it a feature or a defect?

textext(...) is a hbox. So you need to either use

textext(\vbox{... \crlf ...})

or

textext(\noexpand\framed[align=normal]{... \crlf ...})

Thanks. That solves the problem. 
I obviously missed the fact that textext is an \hbox, a fact that explains its 
behaviour.
