newbie question (\crlf)

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Sorry for a dumb TeX newbie question:: why 'version' does NOT begin from 
a new line?


\define[2]\maketitlepage{\centeredbox{{\bfd #1}\crlf {Version #2}}}

\starttext

\maketitlepage{My Manual}{1.0}

\stoptext


Regards,
Vyatcheslav

is an hbox ...

maybe use:

\define[2]\maketitlepage
   {\midaligned{\bfd #1}
    \blank
    \midaligned{Version #2}}

I think it's more:

\define[2]\maketitlepage
   {\starttextmakeup[align=middle]
    {\bfd#1}
    \blank
    Version #2
    \stoptextmakeup}

sure, although in the case of a real titlepage i nowadays always tend to 
set up a layer in combination with a makeup

me too, it gives more control about the placement of the texts but for  
the beginning a simple markup env with centered text is enough and  
faster to write, a more fancy layout can be done later

\define[2]\maketitlepage
   {\startstandardmakeup[align=middle,pagestate=start,page=yes]
    {\bfd#1}
    \blank
    Version #2
    \stopstandardmakeup}

Thanks for all!

I have just one notice: to completely simulate \centeredbox, I need 
\vfill before and after.

\define[2]\maketitlepage
    {\starttextmakeup[align=middle]
     \vfill{\bfd#1}
     \blank
     Version #2\vfill
     \stoptextmakeup}

However, what is \starttextmakeup? What is can be used for?

Best,
Vyatcheslav
