[...] How can I center the makeup in the page?

You have to change the layout for the page with your makeup environments and set both margins to the same value. Changing the layout for a makeup environment is very easy because when you create a new environment with \definemakup context creates also a new page layout with the same name which can be changed with the \setuplayout command.

\definemakeup [custom] [width=.5\textwidth]

\setuplayout [custom] [width=middle]

\showframe

\starttext

\startmakeup [custom] \input ward \stopmakeup

\input ward

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I’m afraid that it doesn’t work using latest beta from 2014.09.06 20:59.

Is this a bug?

I didn’t notice your width setting for the makeup environment. What you try to achieve doesn’t work this way, when you want a narrow and centered are for the text you have to set wide margins in the layout, e.g. \definemakeup[custom] \setuplayout [custom] [backspace=6cm, width=middle] \showframe \starttext \startmakeup [custom] \input ward \stopmakeup \input ward \stoptext or you put the text in a centered framed text environment (your still need \setuplayout to get equal margins for the page), e.g. \definemakeup[custom] \setuplayout [custom] [width=middle] \showframe \starttext \startmakeup [custom] \startframedtext[middle][frame=off,width=.5\textwidth] \input ward \stopframedtext \stopmakeup \input ward \stoptext Wolfgang
