How do I insert some text in exactly the vertical middle of the remainder of a page?
Something like \vspace{0.5\fill}
The following MWE currently adds the text to the end of the page.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]
\vfill
\centering{END OF DOCUMENT}
\end{document}
Fill before and after. Of course, if the “end of document” doesn't fit the page, you will get an almost empty new page.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-2]
\vspace*{\fill}
{\centering END OF DOCUMENT\par\nopagebreak}
\vspace*{\fill}
\end{document}
\vfilinstead of\vfillbecause TeX insert\vfilautomatically on the end of outputted page.\centeringdoes not take an argument so the braces in\centering{END OF DOCUMENT}are not doing anything. (or course as it's the end , it doesn't matter that the rest of the document is centred but it looks odd in the source.
