Hi, looking for a reliable soluion to the problem of keeping section heads with following paragraphs I found the email below from Hans 2003. But using it gives an error (see below): \starttext \definehead[myhead][section] \setuphead[myhead][after={\blank[big]\blank[inhibit]}] \input tufte \par \input knuth \par \input tufte \par \input knuth \par \myhead{Sektion} \index{Index} \subsection{Subsektion} \input knuth \par \stoptext Is "inhibit" broken?

my question: how do i make sure that section heads will not be alone at the bottom of the page, with the following paragraphs at the start of the next page? i want the section head to stay with the first paragraph (or at least the first two lines) of the paragraph immediately following the section head.
(1) use the sectioning commands, so
\definehead[myhead][subsubsection] \setuphead[myhead][style=bold]
instead of
\def\myhead#1{{\bf#1}}
since the sectioning commands will keep successive heads together as well discourage a pagebreak after a head; only lower level heads are kept together, while sam elevel heads may break (makes sense)
(2) this game is spoiled when the head is followed by a command like \blank; a way out can be:
\setuphead[myhead][after={\blank[big]\blank[inhibit]}]
another option is:
\setuphead[myhead][before={\testpage[4]}]
which will break if there are less than 4 lines left
