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
