Dear list members, In the following minimal example the last block (on the background) is placed on page 3 while there is ample room for it on page 2. Only when the \page command in line 6 is uncommented, this block is placed on page 2. Is there a better way to force placement on page 2 or should I always put a \page command at the bottom of the previous page? My '\page solution' has the disadvantage that, when applied in the middle of a sentence, the last line on the page is usually not aligned. \define\block{\input knuth \blank} \starttext \block \block \block % still on page 1 %\page \block % partially on page 2 \startbackground \block % only on page 2 if \page is uncommented \stopbackground \stoptext Thanks in advance, Sytse Knypstra
