using a kern instead of a vskip might work
Am 14.03.10 17:45, schrieb Hans Hagen: the problem is not the skip of the section but the information whether the current header follows another header immediately or there is normal text before. In MKII lastskip result in 1pt after both vertical skips while in MKIV the first lastskip is the sum of the blank and the vskip. \starttext \the\lastskip \vskip1pt \the\lastskip \blank[small]\vskip1pt \the\lastskip \stoptext Since i have a solution for this which doesn't require lastskip i don't care about this difference but it would be interesting why this happens. \starttext \vskip1pt\vskip1pt \the\lastskip \stoptext MKII: 1.0pt MKIV: 2.0pt
(an alternative is to look into skips with higher/lower priority) I guess this requires Lua code.
