Re: [NTG-context] aligning rotated text in a natural table

12 Jun 2019

      Hi Willi,

thanks for the quick reply. I have the [align=lohi] as part of the setupTABLE statement.
Now I tried adding it into the particular cell -- again no effect even if I add "middle".

\bTD[align=lohi] \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD

I suspect the rotate mechanism places the object independent of the align= statement. For
that reason some other handling might be needed. I just don't know which :)

Martin, did you try to add [align=lohi]?

I am trying to align rotated text horizontally and vertically in a table cell. Vertically
is no problem, horizontally it fails. Non-rotated text is, of course, fine.
What can I do to fix the problem? Thanks for suggestions.

PDF of my output is attached.
MWE:
\starttext
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=7mm]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=30mm]
\setupTABLE[r][each][align={lohi,middle},height= 50mm]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD
\bTD blah \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
