Indeed! \center-align is quite confusing the way it is now. Fortunately, since the GDP policy prevents me from using the actual command names in anywhere else than in the examples, I don't need to wait until the commands are renamed. > \column is left aligned. More precisely, \column aligns each line on its own > alignment point, see below. Then it would make sense to rename \center-align in \center-column. > I hope you have looked at the implementation file for the markup commands, > scm/define-markup.scm. > It seems that the documentation string for this particular markup command > contains also an example, > which for some reason does not appear in Appendix B.6.2.

Yes, that would be nice. > No, \null doesn't have any vertical extent.

Yeah -- that was just me being lazy :-) Many thanks.
