breaking text in mp code

breaking text in mp code

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello all,

I try to get a label in metafun that is broken into two lines:

some
text

the following \break is silently ignored. Putting the textext inside
a vbox did not help.

==================================================
% interface=en output=pdf
\starttext
\startMPcode
label (textext("some\break text"),origin);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
==================================================


How do I get the some text in two lines?

\rbox{some\\ text} works here

not here ... May I have your computer?

\starttext
\startMPcode
label (textext("\rbox{some\\ text}"),origin);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Do you have any ideas?
