I am trying to align rotated text horizontally and vertically in a table cell. Vertically
is no problem, horizontally it fails. Non-rotated text is, of course, fine.
What can I do to fix the problem? Thanks for suggestions.

PDF of my output is attached.
MWE:
\starttext
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=7mm]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=30mm]
\setupTABLE[r][each][align={lohi,middle},height= 50mm]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD
\bTD blah \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

I have the [align=lohi] as part of the setupTABLE statement. Now I tried adding it into the particular cell -- again no effect even if I add "middle". \bTD[align=lohi] \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD I suspect the rotate mechanism places the object independent of the align= statement. For that reason some other handling might be needed. I just don't know which :) Martin On Wed, 2019-06-12 at 14:31 +0200, Willi Egger wrote: > Martin, did you try to add [align=lohi]? > > Willi > > > On 12 Jun 2019, at 13:11, Martin Althoff <martin.althoff@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > I am trying to align rotated text horizontally and vertically in a table cell.

It doesn't seem to work though. The text stays at the left. Meantime I have tried two other approaches. Only an approach using a \framed handles longer lines. My problem with the 3. \framed approach is: how do I get the size of the current table cell? In the MWE I used fixed values, in the actual document that would not be good - too many different cells. I am trying a further approach using MetaPost and OverlayBox. Seems possible (line wrapping also an issue), but quite involved...
