Linebrake in a TaBlE cell

Linebrake in a TaBlE cell

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I think this is rather simple and strait forward (hopefully),
but how can I have more than one line in a table cell.

I.e.:

------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one line                 | And here is only one line
second                           |
and a third line, which is long  |
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiere is one long line, which    | Line 1
continues in the next lines, but | Line 2
which has no hard linebrake      |
------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I do so?

Tobias

PS: I just saw the following as a LaTeX question, but the (AMS)MathModul
of ConTeXt should manage this as well:

> |     |                       |          |
> |     |      a^2 + b^2 = c^2  |  (2)     |
> |     |                       |          |
> |     |  m (a^2 + b^2) = E    |  (3)     |
> |     |                       |          |
> |     +-----------------------+          |

I.e. the numbers of the equations are outside the drawn box.
N.B.: TeXperts and TeXnician must not answer, but should keep it
in mind when designing the math modzul.

Well, try \crlf

Why not use the 'alineas' (paragraphs) mechanism for a change? That one
does a better job on paragraphs.

Two ways: 

(1) use a p(width) entry in the preamble
(2) add another line

   \HL
   \VL first line  \VL .... \FR
   \VL second line \VL .... \MR
   etc
