table-caption: centred or not??

table-caption: centred or not??

[Peter Münster]

Hello,
how are the rules, that determine if the caption is centred?
Here my test-case, "ok" means: this is how I like it and "not ok" means, I
don't like it:

\setupcaptions[width=\makeupwidth]
\def\MyTable#1{\placetable{\dorecurse{#1}{bla }}{\starttable[|c|]
  \NC This is a table.\NC\AR\stoptable}}
\starttext
\MyTable{2}  %     ok
\MyTable{10} % not ok
\MyTable{30} %     ok
\setupcaptions[align=middle]
\MyTable{2}  %     ok
\MyTable{10} %     ok
\MyTable{30} % not ok
\stoptext

What should I do, to get 3 times "ok" ?

Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter,

I see no easy solution. ConTeXT does different things depending
on whether or not the caption is wider than the table itself,
and that code is creating the problem in the first 'not ok'.

Greetings, Taco

Hi Taco,
perhaps I could modify this code. Where is it?

In page-flt.tex, just search for 'caption'

Cheers, Taco

Thanks, I've modified the definition of \dopreparestackcaptionaut, but
that does not change anything. Should I put a new item in the collector?
In fact, it's really strange, when you see on the same page one centred
caption, and another one left-aligned.
Cheers, Peter

(1) just set the 'minwidth' to a high value to control the first case
(2) in the second case, kind of disable optimal par building by using 
'broad'

\def\MyTable#1{\placetable{\dorecurse{#1}{bla }}{\starttable[|c|]
  \NC This is a table.\NC\AR\stoptable}}

\setupcaptions[width=\makeupwidth,minwidth=\makeupwidth]

\starttext
\MyTable{2}  %     ok
\MyTable{10} % not ok
\MyTable{30} %     ok

\setupcaptions[align={middle,broad}]

\MyTable{2}  %     ok
\MyTable{10} %     ok
\MyTable{30} % not ok

\stoptext

Hello Hans,
when using minwidth=\makeupwidth, the first caption is also left-aligned...

when using "broad", the second caption gets left-aligned...

My goal: one-line captions centred, but multi-line captions justified
normally.
