underbrace spacing

underbrace spacing

[Johann Birnick]

Hi there,

if I do

\starttext
$4 \underbrace{+ 3}_{\text{because of lorem} + 2}$
\stoptext

then the spacing gets really big because of the long. How can I prevent this?

(in LaTeX one can use \mathcal or so and that works)

Best regards,
Johann

Do you mean \mathclap? If so, then in Context, \clap works correctly in both text and math mode. So, you can just use:

    \starttext
    $4 \underbrace{+ 3}_{\clap{\text{because of lorem} + 2}}$
    \stoptext
