Hello, such things are really easy and straightforward with LaTeX (parbox and minipage), but with ConTeXt I have still a lot of difficulties. This is what I do to align some typing in the middle: \starttext \input tufte \setuptyping[before=\vskip-\lineheight,after=\vskip-0.13\lineheight] \startalignment[middle] \dontleavehmode \framed[align=lohi,frame=off]{% \starttyping bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptyping } \stopalignment \input tufte \stoptext The result is correct, but can't this be done much easier? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

I've been staring at this for a while now. I would have expected this to work: \setuptyping [before={\startframedtext [width=fit,align=lohi,frame=off,location=middle]}, after={\stopframedtext}] \starttyping bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptyping but it doesn't. Cheers, Taco

Yes! A very nice solution would be: \starttyping[location=middle] or \setuptyping[location=middle] Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Hello Hans, I don't understand, it's still not centred... Or do you mean, I have to put the typing into a box, measure the width of the box, and then calculate the right margin ((\textwidth - \typingwidth) / 2) ? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Ok, this seems to work: \def\startTypeMidaligned{% \dostartbuffer[typemidaligned][startTypeMidaligned][stopTypeMidaligned]} \def\stopTypeMidaligned{\setuptyping[margin=0pt]% \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{% \framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,align=lohi]{\typebuffer[typemidaligned]}}% \setuptyping[margin=\dimexpr (\textwidth - \wd\scratchbox) / 2 \relax]% \typebuffer[typemidaligned]} \starttext \input tufte \startTypeMidaligned bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stopTypeMidaligned \input tufte \startTypeMidaligned bla bla bla blub \stopTypeMidaligned \input tufte \stoptext Can be wikified ;) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
