How to center floats (?) in standardmakeup?

How to center floats (?) in standardmakeup?

[Thomas Kreuzer]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a title page with

     \startstandardmakeup[align=middle]

This works alright for text, but when I am trying to insert a "\framed", 
a table or an "\externalfigure", those items (floats?) don't get centered.
How can I make them centered as well?

Thank you very much for your time and kind regards,
Thomas

I don't know why, but \leavevmode helps:


\starttext
\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
\input knuth

\framed {One}

\leavevmode\framed {Two}
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext


These items are not called floats.  Floats are objects like tables or
figures, which are not part of the main text, don't have a fixed
position, and are placed automatically.  Additionally, they are often
numbered and have some title (like "Figure 1:  A sample picture.")

Kind regards,
Joshua
