placing an xtable

placing an xtable

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Dear list,

I'd like to place a table centered (both horizontally and vertically) on
an empty page.

Is there no option from the xtable itself to achieve that?

I have tried \startxtable[location=lohi], but this doesn't seem to
affect to the placement of the table itself.

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

You can use a page float to place table:

\starttext

\input ward

\startplacetable[location={page,none}]
  \startxtable
    \startxrow
      \startxcell Table content!\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
\stopplacetable

\stoptext

or when you don’t mind a page break before the table a frame can be used:

\defineframedtext
  [XFRAMED]
  [width=max,
   height=max,
   align={middle,lohi},
   offset=overlay,
   frame=off,
   before=\page, % before=\page\noheaderandfooterlines,
   after=\page]

\starttext

\input ward

\startXFRAMED
  \startxtable
    \startxrow
      \startxcell Table content!\stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
\stopXFRAMED

\input ward

\stoptext

Many thanks, Wolfgang. Both options worked like charm.
