Vertical Centering

Vertical Centering

[Christopher Tipper]

Hi Everyone,

I'm creating an interactive presentation with \setuppapersize[S6][S6]

I want to centre the words "Sorry, that's wrong." \crlf "Go back to the question" vertically on a blank page.

In the following \blank[force,6*big] does not have any effect. Is there a better way of doing this?

\page
\pagereference[wrong]
\ssc\blank[force,6*big]
\midaligned{Sorry, that's wrong.}

\midaligned{\goto{Go back to the beginning}[beginning]}

I thought about \setupalign[middle], but this doesn't work.

While on the subject, it would be nice for multi-word \goto directives to form a contiguous field in the Acrobat viewer. At the moment "Go back to the beginning" appears to Acrobat's hyperlinking mechanism to be "Go" "back" "to" "the" "beginning". (This is Acrobat 4.0)

Any ideas?

Best wishes,
Christopher

\vfill
\midaligned{Sorry, that's wrong}
\vfill

should do the work. Before \vfill start a new page.

Breaking up the text is actually a feature, since it (1) compensates for
too small links, (2) goes over linebreaks in a save way, and (3) permits
stacking hyperlinks. An unbroken link is achieved with: 

\gotobox{\strut something that may not break}[ref]
