The very last thing to do when finalizing a multi-page document is checking where the page breaks occur, and make corrections accordingly, if the pagebreak occurs at a location you do not want.
Of course, you can take all kind of measures on before hand to avoid 'bad' places, like avoiding pagebreaks directly after a new section and before any of the body text, etc. But the degrees of freedom for context to handle this and to avoid (typographically) 'bad' pagebreak locations are I suppose limited.
Is there a way (already implemented) in Context in which one can add some degrees of freedom to avoid bad pagebreak locations. For instance with elements that can vertically stretch (between some minimum and maximum value) and can be placed optionally (and which could for instance include a fancy decoration, like fancybreak module provides)?
(I guess this is also the way in which typesetters in the past dealt with this problem).
you can play with this (rather old) feature: \adaptlayout[height=5mm] \adaptlayout[lines=2] \adaptlayout[123][height=5mm] \adaptlayout[5,9,42][lines=2] Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
