Subject: Problem with \vfill in extreme table
Date: Sun, 17 May 2020 12:47:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DCCA93A8-654C-45F1-BA38-1081AA254BC9@scorecrow.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <B9528DF8-869B-41CD-A46F-BD0674877B0B@fiee.net>

If I want the words Top and Bottom at the top and bottom of a page then "Top \vfill Bottom" works as expected. If I use the same in an extreme table I get an error and I don't know why.

What's the 'official' way to align top and bottom in an xrow? 

%%%% MWE
\setuppapersize [A4] [A4]
\starttext
\startxtable[width=\textwidth]
  \startxrow[height=150mm]
    \startxcell[align=middle]
      Top
      \vfill
      Bottom
    \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
%%%%

The error message is:
> tex error       > tex error on line 4 in file virtual://buffer.x_table_1.2: ! Missing } inserted
> 
> <inserted text> 
> }
> <to be read again> 
> \vfill 
> l.4       \vfill
