However one thing we do miss from columnsets is the control over widows & orphans in two ways: \testcolumn, and \setupcolumnsetlines. \testcolumn[n] allowed us to do a conditional column break, so when we were about to start a new subsection heading, we could prevent it being an orphan at the bottom of the column; and when starting a paragraph with a hangaround graphic framed flushright and bottom, we could similarly use \testcolumn to prevent the graphic from hanging down into the footer (which is what sometimes happened otherwise).
So I'm wondering, is there some way to achieve the equivalent of \testcolumn in mixedcolumns?
for the moment add \penalty10000
OK... where? In the same place we used to use \testcolumn?
just after the (sub)section title
i need time to figure out this kind of things in the balancer
Hans, here is what I tried (MWE): \setuppapersize[A4] \starttext \section{Introduction} \startmixedcolumns[distance=5mm, balance=yes] \dorecurse {25} { \subsection{Subsection Heading} \penalty10000 If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived their importance. \endgraf } \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext As you see, I tried \penalty10000 after the subsection heading. But in the resulting PDF, on page 3, in the left column, we see a subsection heading at the bottom of the column with nothing below it. So something didn't work. Am I not doing it the way you meant? Thanks for your help, Lars
