Thanks Tarquin I am able in my bumbling way to work with metapost and tex, but my use case here does not warrant that and feels better suited to using standard features. I'll leave this one for now. Possibly there is a case for a <1.5br> control to compliment the existing <br> <left> <right> <thsp> etc in some future update.

Could not make that work. No errors, Therion just echos what is typed in the text string.
I only ever used it directly in the metapost (it's in my code for creating custom labels). In the .th, Therion turns everything into \char103 escape sequences. In the metapost, you have more control. I don't know of a way to inject tex control characters directly from a .th but I have no doubt someone else on this mailing list will know a lot more than me. You could create custom labels with your own string replacement to add your own control character, like <lb> instead of <br>, but that only works for symbols. Not sure how to do that for strings in the cave info. _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion@speleo.sk https://mailman.speleo.sk/listinfo/therion
