How do I setup the slide command to do that by default? I have tried putting {before,after,beforesection,aftersection}=\vfill in various combinations in \setuphead, but I cannot obtain the desired effect.

\setuphead[slide][ style=\ssb, command=\MySlide, color=white, insidesection=\vfill, aftersection=\vfill, page=yes]

insidesection, of course! Thanks, that does it. I have noticed that in a few circumstances vertical alignment is not desired. How do I override the default settings on a per-slide basis? Something like: \startslide[title={...},insidesection=,aftersection=] (which does not work).

...

if I remove the comma after page=yes, slides are not split into different pages. Is it normal that a comma is required at the end of an argument list?

The missing comma is not the issue, it's the space.

Ah, right. For other commands space is not a problem. Go figure. Nicola

No clue why that doesn't work. Wait for others to chime in.

Here's a workaround, though:

\unprotect \setuphead [slide] [insidesection=\doifnot{\structureuservariable\c!align}\c!top\vfill, aftersection=\doifnot{\structureuservariable\c!align}\c!top\vfill] \protect

no need for unprotect is you use \doifnot{\structureuservariable{align}}{top}\vfill

Then you can use:

\startslide [title={Slide Two}] [align=top] text \stopslide

But probably there's a better way.

I'm in a similar situation currently, but can't quite get it to work with the mentioned solution. The attached example shows several problems. Test 1 and Test 3 show, that the \vfill at the beginning apparently adds a forced space (which is worse in Test 3 than in Test 1). Another problem is, that when the page needs to break (which is fine), the last page will not be centered. This is a logic consequence of the \vfill being after the section. Is there any other mechanism to center text on _all_ pages, no matter how often the sections or paragraphs need to get broken? Best regards Andreas
