Hello,
such things are really easy and straightforward with LaTeX (parbox and
minipage), but with ConTeXt I have still a lot of difficulties. This is
what I do to align some typing in the middle:
\starttext
\input tufte
\setuptyping[before=\vskip-\lineheight,after=\vskip-0.13\lineheight]
\startalignment[middle]
\dontleavehmode
\framed[align=lohi,frame=off]{%
\starttyping
bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\stoptyping
}
\stopalignment
\input tufte
\stoptext
The result is correct, but can't this be done much easier?
Cheers, Peter

I've been staring at this for a while now. I would have expected this to work: \setuptyping [before={\startframedtext [width=fit,align=lohi,frame=off,location=middle]}, after={\stopframedtext}] \starttyping bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptyping but it doesn't.

Or do you mean, I have to put the typing into a box, measure the width of the box, and then calculate the right margin ((\textwidth - \typingwidth) / 2) ?
