Hello, I am trying to vertically align images within a bTABLE/Natural Table cell.

The result should be 4 cards on an A4 page with a simple maths exercise and a small image that illustrates the exercise. The image should be horizontally and vertically centered within the space after the text. Exercise text and image size vary somewhat, so a fixed placement is not possible.

I have tried \vfill, but it seems to have no effect in a Natural Table. Similarly, \placefigure has not worked for me.

You need \vfilll.

As basic layout I am using a Natural Table (4 x 4 cells per page, 12 pages), maybe not the best solution. Alternative suggestions are most welcome.

Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Martin


\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=on,offset=2mm]

\setupTABLE[r][1,2][height=.5\textheight]

\bTABLE

\bTD
7·3 apples are on a tree. Anne picks 4·3 apples.
\blank[.5em]
How many apples remain on the tree?

\framed[align={low,middle},location=lohi,width=local]{\externalfigure[apple]}
