Centring text on a page

Centring text on a page

[Jeffrey Drake]

I have a title page I would like to centre some text on. I can easily
do the horizontal text with:

\startalignment[middle]

...

\stopalignment

But I can't figure out how to get it to do verticle centring.

A \startlocal  block modifying the layout might work, but I wonder if
there is a better way.

Regards,
Jeffrey Drake

Hi Jeffrey,

* The long:
My title page is not perfect but it can help:

t-title.tex:

\unprotect
\def\doctitle#1{\gdef\@title{#1}}
\def\author#1{\gdef\@author{#1}}
\def\docdate#1{\gdef\@docdate{#1}}
\docdate{\today}  % Default to today unless specified otherwise.

%\def\UVSQLogo{\externalfigure[src/images/logouvsq.pdf][height=2cm]}

%\definelogo[logo][top][left][command=\UVSQLogo]

\def\maketitle{%
\setupinterlinespace[big]
  \showframe
  \startalignment[center]
  \vskip10mm plus2fil {\rm \bfd \@title \par}
  \vskip10mm plus2fil {\rm \bfd THÈSE \par}
  \vskip5mm plus2fil {\tfa présentée et soutenue publiquement le

  \vskip3mm plus1fil {\tfa pour l'obtention du \par}

  \vskip3mm plus1fil {\tfb par \par}
  \vskip3mm plus1fil {\tfa \@author \par}
  \stopalignment
  \vskip5mm plus2fil \hskip1cm {\bfa Composition du jury \par}

  \definefloat[centered][table]

\setupfloat[centered][default={none}]

  \placecentered{testtest}{
  \starttabulate[|l|l|l|]

  \stoptabulate}

  \vskip5mm plus2fil
}
%\placelogos[logo]
\protect

Then in your main doc or product:

\usemodule[title]
  \doctitle{\setupinterlinespace[small]
    Contribution à l'étude, à la simulation et à la commande d'un
    robot de type serpent
  }
  \author{Renaud {\sc Aubin}}
  \docdate{\date[d=10,m=05,y=2060]}
\starttext

    \startstandardmakeup
      \maketitle
    \stopstandardmakeup

\stoptext


* The short:

Use \hbox{} and \vfill (I can make an example if you want)

Cheers,

Renaud

You can use

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
In the middle
\stopstandardmakeup

or

\centerbox{In the middle}
