How to make a row of text have vertical centering in tabulate environment?

How to make a row of text have vertical centering in tabulate environment?

I have a simple tabulate environment like this:

\starttext

        \starttabulate[|p(.45\textwidth)|cp(.1\textwidth)|p(.45\textwidth)|]            \NR
                \HL
                \NC Cause    \NC \NC Effect    \NC\NR
                \HL
                \NC            \NC \NC            \NC\NR
                 \NC   text a         \NC text b \NC       \input knuth     \NC\NR %<-- vertically center this row
                \HL
            \NR
        \stoptabulate

\stoptext
I'd like to vertically center the content in the one marked row. By default, they seem to place each cell aligned to the top, but how can I adjust them vertically so the text is vertically centered just in specific rows?

Use natural or extreme tables.

\starttext

\startxtable[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on]
     \startxrow
         \startxcell[width=.45\textwidth]
             Cause
         \stopxcell
         \startxcell[width=.1\textwidth]
             % empty cell
         \stopxcell
         \startxcell[width=.45\textwidth]
             Effect
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
     \startxrow[align={flushleft,lohi}]
         \startxcell
             text a
         \stopxcell
         \startxcell
             text b
         \stopxcell
         \startxcell
             \input knuth
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext

Hi Joel,

I have no experience with tabulates, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they
didn’t support vertical alignment.

You can achieve that with xtables:

  \starttext
  \startxtable[frame=off, option={stretch, width}]
    \startxrow[topframe=on, bottomframe=on]
      \startxcell[nx=2]
        Cause
      \stopxcell
      \startxcell
        Effect
      \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \startxrow[bottomframe=on]
    \startxcell[width=.45\textwidth,  align=lohi]
        text a
      \stopxcell
      \startxcell[width=.1\textwidth,  align=lohi]
        text b
      \stopxcell
      \startxcell[width=.45\textwidth, align=center]
        \input knuth
      \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
  \stopxtable
  \stoptext

xtables-mkiv.pdf contains all the details.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo
