Hello,

I've been trying to come up with a few methods to add definitions to

adds the definition as sort of a "superscript" on top of the word, and

definition on top of the tip of the bracket.

Here is the (ugly and hackish) code:



\startuniqueMPgraphic{defline}

and (7,1)..(7,2)--(7,2)..controls(7,1) and

I haven't figured a way to add the curly bracket graphic neatly nor
position the definition correctly on top of it.

I would be very interested in any advice regarding these two functions
and how to rewrite both of them in a more elegant way.

Another solution, which might be easier to understand. This does not 
affect the lineheight. Depending on the usage, that may or may not be 
desirable.

Thank you! I will wikify the examples with an explanation on the 
syntax. However I would be interested in learning more about the bgrop, 
dontleavehmode, raise etc. commands. The cont-eni manual uses them but 
without explanation on their exact syntax and use cases.
