Hi gang,
I'm trying to figure out whether it's whorthwhile to write slides for
my presentations in ConTeXt instead of using Powerpoint or Keynote (I'm
not an engineer or a scientist, so maths doesn't matter). I have cooked
up a nice-looking template without too many frills that kind of copies
what I used to do in Keynote (shaded background, footers etc.). There's
one important thing I can't get to work: is it possible to have a
picture and a text next to it with the text being centered horizontally
and vertically like so?
picturepicturepicture
picturepicturepicture
picturepicturepicture Here
picturepicturepicture goes all the
picturepicturepicture text
picturepicturepicture
picturepicturepicture
What I tried is this:
\startfiguretext[left]{none}{\externalfigure[picture]}
\vfill
\midaligned{Here}
\midaligned{goes all the}
\midaligned{text}
\vfill
\stopfiguretext
but that doesn't work. I also tried things like \framed and
\startcombinations (calling the text from a buffer), but all in vain.
There doesn't seem to be an easy mechanism for centering stuff
vertically in ConTeXt? Any help would be appreciated!
Best
Thomas
