Vertical alignment in tabularx X column type

Question

I'd like to create a new column type which works exactly like a X column from tabularx but that also has the text vertically centered. I tried with the newcolumntype command but I can't figure out where to put the second column type? Example:

\newcolumntype{n}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}

Where should I put the mto specify that the cells content should be vertically centered?

The example in the tabularx documentation is

\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{>{\small}m{#1}}

Then use X as usual.

but is it possible with the newcolumntype command? – franz May 07 '13 at 16:52

@franz no, you can't turn a p column into an m column with \newcolumntype. – David Carlisle May 07 '13 at 16:54

In what way does this Q&A differ from http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/105671/27721 ? – nutty about natty Jul 06 '13 at 06:17
@nuttyaboutnatty The other question gives a working example – beldaz May 08 '17 at 11:13
