Is there a way to detect if two references are on the same page? I looking for a way to determine if I should print a single page number or a range of numbers.

Vertically centered text in each page

Inspired by Aditya's "make a presentation in 40 commits" example, I have defined my own environment for slides. A part of it looks like this: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startreusableMPgraphic{header:background} fill OverlayBox leftenlarged BackSpace rightenlarged CutSpace topenlarged TopSpace withcolor OverlayColor ; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox enlarged max(BackSpace,CutSpace) ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \defineoverlay[header:background][\reuseMPgraphic{header:background}] \define[2]\MySlide{\framed[ frame=off, background=header:background, backgroundcolor=orange, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft ]{#2}} \definehead[slide][subject] \setuphead[slide][ style=\ssb, command=\MySlide, color=white, page=yes, ] \starttext \startslide[title={Slide One}] \vfill text \vfill \stopslide \startslide[title={Slide Two}] \vfill text \vfill \stopslide \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% As you see, I am using \vfill to have the text vertically centered. How do I setup the slide command to do that by default? I have tried putting {before,after,beforesection,aftersection}=\vfill in various combinations in \setuphead, but I cannot obtain the desired effect. Related to the code above, I have another question: if I remove the comma after page=yes, slides are not split into different pages. Is it normal that a comma is required at the end of an argument list? Nicola

SOLVED: I cut and pasted the code from the original response and failed to notice that the very first character i.e. the ‘\’ was missing in the message. It all executed with no error messages!! Works fine with the minor correction. Thanks for your help. Aidan

I must be doing something stupid. I’ve just installed the standalone version. Saved the code as test3.tex and invoked it with context test3.tex It reports the version as ConTeXt ver: 2016.03.01 14:03 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.3.1 int: english/english And still no output from \thispage Aidan
