I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'following text' is the definition.
'below' can be an answer for 'following' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'text' bit.

'roar when cutting one line' is the wordplay.
'roar' becomes 'bellow' (synonyms).
'when cutting' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'one line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'bellow' with 'l' taken away is 'BELOW'.

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
