Hi,
I had the following structure which ended up at the bottom of a page: … Q1: Is there a Right Way to force ConTeXt to put an \item on the current page?
Q2: If not, does anyone wish to suggest some way to trick ConTeXt here, or to do an end-run around its calculations?
Note: to solve this problem the use of brute force has been authorized.
Did you try \adaptlayout? https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/adaptlayout
It might also help to put the itemize in a box (but that might end up on the next page).
Hi Hraban, That works perfectly. I didn't know about that command before, and my google searches to find something like that didn't turn anything up. Undoubtedly I used the wrong search terms. I tried putting the \placefigure and the itemize in a box, thinking that if all else failed I could put a negative \vskip at the bottom to make the box shorter. However, when I tried putting all that in a \vbox I got some error messages which were not immediately illuminating (to me). Thanks for the pointer. Jim
