Dear colisters, is there a way to tel Context to be dumb about pagebreaks? I mean to say "fill every page with the exact same number of lines, no matter what, regardless of clubs, widows, women and children"? Here's my setup: \setuplayout[lines=17,footer=0.7cm] \starttext \clubpenalty=0 \widowpenalty=0 Nevertheless, some pages are 1 or even three lines shorter than the rest (there are no tables, floats, pictures etc.). Can this be prevented? Thanks Thomas

\def\defaultwidowpenalty{0} \def\defaultclubpenalty{0} or maybe: setuplayout[grid=yes] or in the beta i just posted: \startsetups [NeverMind] \setups[*reset] \widowpenalty\zerocount \clubpenalty \zerocount \stopsetups \setuplayout[setups=NeverMind] or ...

Thanks! This command alleviated the problem without eliminating all the "shorter" pages. \setuplayout[grid=yes] actually made it a lot worse; almost every page was several lines short. I suspect it might have something to with itemizations (of which there are quite a few); this seems to confuse (Con)TeX(t).

If you really want your problem solved, you should post an example. Patrick -- Why is it so difficult to post a minimal but complete example????
Hi Patrick, feeling a bit grumpy this morning, are we? ;-) Well, it is kind of difficult to provide a minmal example because, as the nature of the problem involves, it would necessarily be more than ~2-4 pages of text. If you're interested, I can send you a file off-list, but I don't think I should bother everybody here with long excerpts. Thanks for your interest, and best wishes Thomas

No. Not really. Do I make such an impression? ;-) Perhaps it is my 'smart-ass-day'...

there is always \dorecurse{#}{what} and \input myfavoritefile

You can do that. Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!
