Hi, this is my first message in this ml ;)
Well, I've a stupid constraint in a work: I must limit the number of lines in a page. I have to have 32-35 lines on each page.
Now, the task isn't too complex in principle, I can work on interline sizes and glues, but this way is a little bit tricky. I wonder if there is a better (and elegant) way to manage the problem.
You can the number of lines on a page with the \setuplayout command.
\setuplayout[lines=20] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{Line \recurselevel\par} \stoptext

Of course there is a static idea of "line" that depends on the current font and a dynamic idea of row that depends on the current document: here is an exaggerated example \setuplayout[lines=20] \newdimen\T \T=1.5mm \starttext \dorecurse{40}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel}\par} \dorecurse{100}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel\vrule width1pt height \recurselevel\T depth \recurselevel\T}\par} \stoptext -- luigi
