Hello, could anyone give me an advice how to manage text flow (in terms of orphan/widow control with controlling of flushbottom raggedbottom effects?). I am desperate in fact ConTeXt is a great tool but I can't reach effective way how to control these things. (And be sure I have spent many hours above manual and wiki… but maybe I am not so technically capable.) In case I have longer text with many quotations, one-line paragraphs and direct speech (typically any novel), I am able to reach a stage without orphans and widows but context do what it want with an end of every problematic page – it simply shrinks it –1 line. I need to be able to create simply nice results in a basic-typography point of view of good novel typesetting (without orphans, widows, on grid and every page the same height). Sure I know about \setuptolerance setting but it has (imho) very poor effect for my purposes. (Sure, maybe I am not using it properly.) Here is my result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/kresadlo.pdf and source file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/kresadlo.tex …see pages 3 and 4, please. This is what I mean and what I wish to manage in a simple way. Thank you Jan Hejzl

Considering the lack of available text and the small page size, what do you expect context to do, exactly? It cannot actually rewrite your document so that there are no widows & orphans, you know... Best wishes, Taco
