Dear all,
In the output of the following sample, figures are left flushed.
I found some discussions about the align and location in \setupcombination.
"align=" is for caption and "location=middle" is for figures' location.
But "align= " worked while "location= " has no effect at all.
So I have to enclose \startcombination … \stopcombination in \placefigure[][]{}.
How to locate the combined figures at the horizontal center?
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
\starttext
\setupcombination[align=leftflush, location=middle]
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][]}{aaaaaa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][]}{bbbbbb}
\stopcombination
\stoptext

location is the vertical location of the element within the
combination. Compare:
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=1cm]}{aaaaaa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=4cm]}{bbbbbb}
\stopcombination
\setupcombination
[location=middle]
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=1cm]}{aaaaaa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=4cm]}{bbbbbb}
\stopcombination
> So I have to enclose \startcombination … \stopcombination in \placefigure[][]{}.

\midaligned
{\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][]}{aaaaaa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][]}{bbbbbb}
\stopcombination}

When there are more combinations in the document I would create a named framedtext to align them.
\defineframedtext
[centered]
[frame=off,
width=fit,
offset=overlay,
location=middle]
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\starttext
\startcentered
\startcombination[2*1]
\startcontent
\externalfigure[dummy]%
\stopcontent
\startcaption
aaaaaa
\stopcaption
\startcontent
\externalfigure[dummy]%
\stopcontent
\startcaption
bbbbbb
\stopcaption
\stopcombination
\stopcentered
\stoptext

With the new beta you can replace
\midaligned{…}
with
\startmidaligned
…
\stopmidaligned

I already noted that. I appreciate the movement to a more uniform
\start…\stop syntax.
Just a random thought: Would it be possible or even make sense to
uniform the syntax even further and maybe merge the functionality
into \startalignment? At the moment we have one command with an
argument for alignments:
\startalignment [right|middle|left]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
however three different command for boxed alignments (furthermore,
\startrightaligned works just the opposite of \startalignment[right]):
\startrightaligned
FooBar
\stoprightaligned
\startmidaligned
FooBar
\stopmidaligned
\startleftaligned
FooBar
\stopleftaligned
This might be easy to remember for us who still know the
\midaligned{} syntax, but I guess for new users it's confusing.
Additionally, the difference between the commands is unclear. What
about an interface like this:
\startlinealignment [right|middle|left]
FooBar
\stoplinealignment
Taking this one step further would be to merge both into one
command:
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=???]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=!!!]
FooBar
\stopalignment

Not sure if this method is too complicated for a few people.

maybe we need a warning (like the mandate 'this site uses cookies' in
NL) like 'if you read this message you agree not to complain about an

I found a typo:
\unexpanded\def\leftaligned {\spac_align_wrapper_handle\v!left }
-\unexpanded\def\midaligned {\spac_align_wrapper_handle\v!middle}
+\unexpanded\def\middlealigned{\spac_align_wrapper_handle\v!middle}
\unexpanded\def\rightaligned {\spac_align_wrapper_handle\v!right }
\unexpanded\def\maxaligned {\spac_align_wrapper_handle\v!max }

So, basically you don't want any complaints at all
(as the list of undocumented features now far outweighs the list of
documented features!) :)
Of course, ConTeXt is "use at your own risk"
even though I find it to be more "use to your great benefit".

Dear Marco and Wolfgang,
Thank you for solutions.
I have tried \startalignment … \stopalignment, but it is not working.
Does it work as same as \midaligned?
\startcontent … \stopcontent, \startcaption … \stopcaption seem to me a new commands.
Is every command in ConTeXt changed as a form of "\start … \stop"?
Thank you again.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

No, both commands work different. With \startalignment you can set a different \setupalign
setting for a certain part of your document and it does work for longer text but \midaligned
works only for content which fits on a single line. In the following example you can see
the text in the alignment environment is broken across line but the text in \midaligned is
placed in one long line which exceeds the page dimensions.
\starttext
\startalignment[middle]
\input ward
\stopalignment
\blank
\midaligned{\input ward }
\stoptext
> \startcontent … \stopcontent, \startcaption … \stopcaption seem to me a new commands.

No, not all commands are available in a start/stop form and even when it doesn’t
mean you can replace a command with a environment, e.g. \quotation{…} is
different from \startquotation … \stopquotation but there will be more commands
in the future which can be used as \start… and \stop…
