Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definemakeup
[custom]
[location=middle, width=.5\textwidth]
\starttext
\startmakeup [custom]
\input ward
\stopmakeup
\stoptext
How can I center the makeup in the page?
\definemakeup[custom][align=middle] centers the lines, but this is
something different.
It is not a question of paragraph orientation. It is rather a question
of placing the makeup in the middle of the page (also horizontally)
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

(Untested):
\definemakeup[...][top=\vss, bottom=\vss]

You have to change the layout for the page with your makeup environments
and set both margins to the same value. Changing the layout for a makeup
environment is very easy because when you create a new environment
with \definemakup context creates also a new page layout with the same
name which can be changed with the \setuplayout command.
\definemakeup
[custom]
[width=.5\textwidth]
\setuplayout
[custom]
[width=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\startmakeup [custom]
\input ward
\stopmakeup
\input ward
\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid that it doesn’t work using latest beta from 2014.09.06 20:59.
Is this a bug?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

I didn’t notice your width setting for the makeup environment. What you try to achieve
doesn’t work this way, when you want a narrow and centered are for the text you have
to set wide margins in the layout, e.g.
\definemakeup[custom]
\setuplayout
[custom]
[backspace=6cm,
width=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\startmakeup [custom]
\input ward
\stopmakeup
\input ward
\stoptext
or you put the text in a centered framed text environment (your still need \setuplayout
to get equal margins for the page), e.g.
\definemakeup[custom]
\setuplayout
[custom]
[width=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\startmakeup [custom]
\startframedtext[middle][frame=off,width=.5\textwidth]
\input ward
\stopframedtext
\stopmakeup
\input ward
\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
Everything works fine now.
I prefer the pure layout option (without framed text). It is simpler.
Many thanks again for your help,
Pablo
