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?

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) ?
