Is there a dedicated ConTeXt way of having something similar in text mode? A column of content with a brace on its right (or left)? I have sometimes used something like this (which I think is from A Beginner's Book of TeX): \starttext \setbox1=\vbox{\hsize2cm Some \crlf vertical \crlf material } \setbox2=\vbox{\hbox{X}} \startformula \left.\vcenter{\box1}\right\}\vcenter{\box2} \stopformula \stoptext But I was wondering if there's a less hackish, more elegant way of doing this in ConTeXt.
