Center alignment within TABLE

Center alignment within TABLE

Dear syndicate,

I'm stumped trying to get the first two cells of the following TABLE  
aligned to the center:

======================
\define[3]\Glyphbox
   {\framed[frame=on,align=middle]\bgroup
      {#1\\
      #2\\
      #3%
    \egroup}}

\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=on,align=middle]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{I}{a}{1} \eTD
      \bTD \Glyphbox{I}{a}{1} \eTD
\eTR
\bTR \bTD \Glyphbox{III}{aaa}{111} \eTD
      \bTD \Glyphbox{III}{aaa}{111} \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
======================

See also attached pdf. No what I've tried (\setupTABLE) the first two  
cells remain flushleft. Even with

\setupTABLE[frame=on,align=flushright]

the two cells in the top row remain flushleft. Thanks in advance for any  
advice and

Best wishes
Idris

Please check this: \bgroup { … \egroup }

1. You need \dontleavehmode in front of the \framed.

2. You need \setupTABLE[start][..,..=..,..] because \bTABLE sets a default value for the align key which can’t be overwritten with a simple \setupTABLE[..,..=..,..].

Yes, took out the font-dependent line to make a minimal example and that  
got mixed up... still compiled correctly interestingly...

Wow... Now *this* is one that would be instructive to place on the wiki.  
(Is '\setupTABLE[start]' documented anywhere else?) Thanks, Wolfgang!

Added:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#An_alignment_issue

Perhaps this example/wiki-sub-entry can be made more useful, a task I  
leave to others.
