Centering last line of paragraph

Centering last line of paragraph

[dw]

Hi all,

For some long-winded subtitles, I need a paragraph shape which has flush
sides except the last line, which is centered. I haven't come across any
solutions for this... any clues?

Best,
David

Based on this, I had once used


\installalign {centerlast}{\leftskip=.3pc plus 1fil
                            \rightskip=.3pc plus -1fil
                            \parfillskip=0pt plus 2fil}


and then use \setupalign[centerlast] or \startalignment[centerlast]. This 
does not work as a parameter of align={..} in \framed etc, but I did not 
look into it, since I did not need it.

Thanks for the responses. I too found that article, but didn't know how to
apply it in context. I am using hanging punctuation and hz, which doesn't
work within a \startalignment[centerlast] \stopalignment environment (I've
tried a few combinations, and also setupalign with all three). Any ideas on
this one?

Best,
David
