typing midaligned

typing midaligned

[Peter Münster]

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.

Cheers, Taco

you mean that you want centered verbatim?

Yes!
A very nice solution would be:
\starttyping[location=middle] or \setuptyping[location=middle]

Hello Hans,
with align=middle, the typing is aligned line by line. What I'm looking for
is this:

normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal  text in a
paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal
text  in a  paragraph,  normal  text  in  a paragraph,  normal  text in a
paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph
                    on line of typing
                    second line of typing but longer
normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal  text in a
paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal
text  in a  paragraph,  normal  text  in  a paragraph,  normal  text in a
paragraph, normal text in a paragraph, normal text in a paragraph

Cheers, Peter

Hello Hans,
I don't understand, it's still not centred...
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) ?

Greetings, Peter

Ok, this seems to work:

\def\startTypeMidaligned{%
  \dostartbuffer[typemidaligned][startTypeMidaligned][stopTypeMidaligned]}
\def\stopTypeMidaligned{\setuptyping[margin=0pt]%
  \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{%
    \framed[frame=off,offset=overlay,align=lohi]{\typebuffer[typemidaligned]}}%
  \setuptyping[margin=\dimexpr (\textwidth - \wd\scratchbox) / 2 \relax]%
  \typebuffer[typemidaligned]}
\starttext
\input tufte
\startTypeMidaligned
bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\stopTypeMidaligned
\input tufte
\startTypeMidaligned
bla bla bla
blub
\stopTypeMidaligned
\input tufte
\stoptext

Can be wikified ;)
Cheers, Peter
