Hi, I try to solve this, but I could not. Can you please help me. I make a math problem sheet. In "Exercici 1.2", I put a itemize with three columns, but the 'c' exercise jumps to second column. I want that a, b, c remains in the first column, d, e, f in the second and g, h, i in the third. I tried \column command but it's worse. I attached the source and generated pdf.

Removing "alternative=serried" gives a more grid like layout and (possibly coincidentally) the problem of the 'c' and 'h' labels being orphaned at the bottom of the page goes away. However the Exercici 1.3 heading is now too close to the end of the previous set. Perhaps changing your "before=" setting might improve things.

Thanks, Bruce, but removing alternative=serried is not an option. I don't understand that 'e' fits the space and 'c' doesn't. @Luis: joinedup does not produce changes In conclusion, I have the same problem ;-)

Please see the attached PDF which is your sample with the command \showmakeup[vbox] added after \starttext The green line shows how much space is needed to fully print item (b). Item (c) will need the same amount of space, shown by the red line. However, this would take you into the footer area (shown by the blue arrows), so item (c) is split: the item label fits into the space at the bottom of the column and so is printed there; the fraction doesn't fit and so is moved to the next column. We can confirm this theory by setting the footer to nothing with the command \setuplayout[footer=0mm] and then the columns are as you wish. However that only works for this example and the situation would inevitably arise again. The solution to your problem would be some way of forcing the item body to stay with the label. I don't know what that command is - hopefully someone here can tell us. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
