Subject: box width to fit longest line of text
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 23:36:18 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <freemail.20160928233618.54304.1@fmxmldata04.freemail.hu> (raw)

Dear context users:

I'd like to handle a block of text with 2 or more lines where the block width should be equal
to the longest line in the block. I'd like the lines be center aligned in the block.
Something like this:

        line1
second longerline
    another line

In latex I can do it using parbox like this:

\parbox{\widthof{second longerline}}{\centering{}line1\\second longerline\\another line}

How can achieve the same or similar in context?

Thanks in advance,

bcsikos
