Vertically Centered Boxes
Revision as of 10:50, 29 July 2005 by Mojca Miklavec (talk | contribs) (The examples with \bTABLE ... \eTABLE are not broken any more)
In LaTeX
\documentclass{article} \begin{document} a box with a table: \fbox{\begin{tabular}[c]{l}1\\2\\3\end{tabular}}\par a midaligned parbox: \parbox[c]{1em}{1 2 3} \end{document}
In ConTeXt:
a box with a table: \framed [location=middle, % vertically centered align=flushleft, % align=no (default) is a normal hbox % align=flushleft/middle/flushright/normal is used for multiple lines offset=5pt] % to make the frame wider (as in LaTeX) {1\\2\\3} a midaligned parbox: \framed [location=middle, % vertically centered align=normal, % justified alignment frame=off, % no frame width=1em] % make box 1em wide; note that line breaking is not the same as in LaTeX (?) {1 2 3}
If you need a proper table (the one above only had one column), use \bTABLE ... \eTABLE
or similar instead of 1\\2\\3
. See Tables Overview for more possibilities.
