There is no such symbol right now. You can use point altitude for this purpose and set up a grid origin to the altitude of cave entrance. But it will not generate number with line above. It is no problem to redefine it - but one question remains.

Would it be better to have both - point altitude and point depth or just point altitude with some kind of "depth" rendering mode is enough?
In other words, have you ever seen a map, where both "depth from the entrance" and "altitude above sea level" are rendered with different symbols?

Thanks for feedback, S.

You may generate any symbol you want in therion generally. But if the particular symbol is not yet defined somebody must do it. For example to start with new symbol set, let say "Mexican", and created (coded, programed) all necessary symbols in MetaPost. Temporary one may do it for user defined symbols in layout section.

As first step generate the list of all available symbols - see Appendix in TherionBook and check how to use symbols from different symbol sets in you map in layout section.
