Dear list,
writing an article on ConTeXt, I have found what I think is a surprising feature (at least, a surprising default): headings don’t always keep with next paragraph, so they can end up in being widowed (heading + page break + first paragraph on next page).
Sorry, but I’m afraid that I don’t understand this default. I have never seen a printed book that displays this behavior (unless the heading was alone on its page).
Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m more than happy with ConTeXt. But would anyone be so kind to explain the reason of the described default? (I’m trying to understand, so I can explain to others.)
I have found on the list (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/023357.html) the way to avoid this:
\setuphead[section][before={\page[bigpreference]}]
How can I know which is the exact default value in any given command? (I need to know the before values for headings, at least.)
Is there a way to enable the “keep with next” option for all headings?
Do you have a example where this happens because context tries to prevent a page break after a heading which can fail when you put \placefigure etc. between the heading and the following text. Wolfgang
