How to center a table horizontally?

How to center a table horizontally?

Hello all,

this must be a really basic question, but I cannot find out the answer.

I'm creating a table, but I cannot center it horizontally:

---
\starttext
  \startalignment[center]
    \dontleavehmode

    \starttable[|c|]
      \NC CCC \NC\NR
    \stoptable
  \stopalignment
\stoptext
---

The code I used above works e.g. with pictures, so even if I'm using the \dontleavehmode "trick", the table is still flushed left (see the attachments).

So is there a way how to center tables created by \starttable and \starttabulate horizontally?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Lukas

I can't explain, what happens, but a \vbox helps:

\starttext
  \startalignment[middle]
    \dontleavehmode
    \vbox{%
      \starttable[|c|]
        \NC CCC \NC\NR
      \stoptable
    }
  \stopalignment
\stoptext

Cheers, Peter
