centering problem

[Denis B. Roegel]

How ca I center something like a table?

For instance, the following doesn't work:

\startalignment[middle]
\starttable[|l|c|r|]
\HL
\VL a \VL b \VL c\VL\FR
\HL
\VL d \NC e \NC f\VL\MR
\HL
\VL g \VL h \VL i\VL\LR
\HL
\stoptable
\stopalignment

Thanks,

Denis

There is a command (only dutch so we need to map it to englishm will be 
done in next release):

\ifx\defineplace\undefined \let\defineplace\definieerplaats \fi

\defineplace
   [centered]
   [location=middle,
    before=\blanko,
    after=\blanko,
    linecorrection=on]

\starttext

\startnarrower

\input tufte \placecentered{\framed[width=\hsize]{oeps}} \input tufte

\stopnarrower

The linecorrection is only needed for framed stuff
