Hello Willi, this does exactly what I wanted, but I am not too happy to (mis-)use a table for that. Let's see when I need this in a real life example. Bedankt, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

There are three different ways of aligning the three objects:
There are more possibilities aligning three objects. For example: A[[B][C]] Standard \framed is not capable to align these three nested boxes to baseline. Since it is very frequent task of form typesetting, I did some very dirt hacks into \framed definition. But just for myself. (If Hans see the code all the rest of his hair falls down. I do not want that.) vit

This one should have worked: A bit of \framed[width=5cm, align=justified, location=depth] {\input tufte \par} glamour and the centered one can be approximated thus: A bit of $\vcenter{\framed[width=5cm, align=justified] {\input tufte \par}}$ glamour But the 'centered' and the 'hanging' one would be nice to have as a 'location' option as well, at least in my opinion.

Hi Taco,

It did work, but I wasn't able to find align=justified in texshow-web. I have added it to texshow-web. Thanks, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

one way is to put things in a box and do some measuring and such; however, then you need to know a bit about the position of the baseline (measurethe middle box, and use a dummy framed around A and B with that height set etc) the other way is to use the following extensions (i made the dislocator installable so that you can hook in your own code if needed) \unprotect \def\stoplocalframed {\dontshowcomposition \@@stopframedorientation \ifboxhasformat \ifx\localwidth\v!fit \ifreshapeframebox\doreshapeframedbox\fi \boxhaswidthfalse \else\ifx\localwidth\v!fixed \boxhaswidthfalse \else \resetshapeframebox \fi\fi \else \resetshapeframebox \fi \ifboxhaswidth \wd\framebox\!!widtha \fi \ifboxhasheight \ht\framebox\!!heighta \fi \doifvalue{\@@framed\c!empty}\v!yes {\setbox\scratchbox\null \wd\scratchbox\wd\framebox \ht\scratchbox\ht\framebox \dp\scratchbox\dp\framebox \setbox\framebox\box\scratchbox}% \stopregistercolor \docolorframebox \ifboxhasoffset \dooffsetframebox \fi \ifboxisoverlaid \else \dolocateframebox \fi \ifx\postprocessframebox\relax \else \let\next\postprocessframebox \let\postprocessframebox\relax % prevent nesting \next\framebox \fi \edef\overlaylinecolor{\framedparameter\c!framecolor}% \edef\overlaylinewidth{\the\ruledlinewidth}% \@@... \ifboxhasframe % real or invisible frame \doframedbox \fi \doifvaluesomething{\@@framed\c!background}\dobackedbox \handleframedlocator\@@locallocation \box\framebox \egroup \egroup} \def\installframedlocator#1#2% {\setvalue{\??ol:\c!location:#1}{#2}} \def\handleframedlocator#1% {\getvalue{\??ol:\c!location:#1}} \def\doprelocframedbox#1% {\scratchdimen#1\relax \advance\scratchdimen \ruledlinewidth \ifboxhasoffset \advance\scratchdimen \framedparameter\c!offset \fi \scratchskip\ht\framebox \advance\scratchskip-\scratchdimen} \installframedlocator \v!hanging % best with strut=no {\dp\framebox\ht\framebox \ht\framebox\zeropoint} \installframedlocator \v!depth {\scratchdimen\ht\framebox \advance\scratchdimen -\strutdp \ht\framebox\scratchdimen \dp\framebox\strutdp \box\framebox} \installframedlocator \v!height {\scratchdimen\ht\framebox \advance\scratchdimen -\strutht \ht\framebox\strutht \dp\framebox\scratchdimen \box\framebox} \installframedlocator \v!high {\doprelocframedbox\strutht \setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower\scratchskip\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox\strutht \dp\framebox\strutdp \hbox{\box\framebox}} \installframedlocator \v!line {\setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower.5\ht\framebox\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox.5\lineheight \dp\framebox.5\lineheight \hbox{\box\framebox}} \installframedlocator \v!low {\doprelocframedbox\strutdp \setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower\scratchdimen\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox\strutht \dp\framebox\strutdp \box\framebox} \installframedlocator \v!top {\doprelocframedbox\strutht \setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower\scratchskip\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox\scratchdimen \dp\framebox\scratchskip \hbox{\box\framebox}} \installframedlocator \v!middle {\scratchdimen.5\ht\framebox \setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower\scratchdimen\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox\scratchdimen \dp\framebox\scratchdimen \hbox{\box\framebox}} \installframedlocator \v!lohi {\handleframedlocator\v!middle} \installframedlocator \v!bottom {\doprelocframedbox\strutdp \setbox\framebox\hbox{\lower\scratchdimen\box\framebox}% \ht\framebox\scratchskip \dp\framebox\scratchdimen \hbox{\box\framebox}} \starttext \ruledhbox {A \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=hanging]{location\\equals\\hanging} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=depth] {location\\equals\\depth} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=height] {location\\equals\\height} B} \vskip2cm \ruledhbox {A \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=low] {location\\equals\\low} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=line] {location\\equals\\line} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=high] {location\\equals\\high} B} \vskip2cm \ruledhbox {A \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=top] {location\\equals\\top} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=bottom] {location\\equals\\bottom} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=lohi] {location\\equals\\lohi} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=middle] {location\\equals\\middle} B} \stoptext (hanging, depth and low were already present) check for compatibility -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

the other way is to use the following extensions (i made the dislocator installable so that you can hook in your own code if needed)

Everything works perfectly until the depth is greater then strut depth (still no real depth measurements): \starttext a \framed[location=bottom] {location=bottom \ruledhbox {A \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=bottom] {location\\equals\\bottom} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=top] {location\\equals\\top} \framed[width=2cm,align=middle,location=lohi] {location\\equals\\lohi} B} } b \stoptext vit
