Hello, I'm trying to typeset a book made of letters with ConTeXt. Every letter has a title a subtitle and a date, before it starts with "Dear ..." Like this: --------------------------------- Title subtitle where, when Dear ..., the rest of the letter ... ---------------------------------
The letters are very different in length -- some are long, some are made of a couple of lines --, so I'd like to typeset them continuously, without skipping to a new page every new letter (\setuphead[LetterTitle][page=no]).
This way a letter could finish beyond the half of a page, and the next one could have no space left to get the part from Title to the first lines of the body on the same page.
That's why I disabled page breaks from Title to the first paragraph after "Dear ...": it would be ugly having only the title in one page and the rest in the next ones.
But there's a side effect: the title of the new letter "pulls" the last two lines (the penalties are set to avoid one-line widows) of the previous letter to the new page, even when there's room for them on the previous page. In this case I would like ConTeXt to break the page at the end of the previous letter, before the next letter title. That's why I've set before={\blank[2*line]\page[preference]} in LetterTitle. But it does not work.
Hi Massi, how about "before={\blank[2*line]\page[bigpreference]}"? As Wolgang noted before, a minimal sample is essential to be able to provide a solution. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
