Dear list, is there a way to avoid clubs and widows in columns? I don't know, how it would be implemented, if the task is splitting typeset vertical list. \setuppapersize[A7] \starttext \startcolumns[separator=rule, align={right,nothyphenated}] \dorecurse{12}{→ one two three four five\par} \stopcolumns \stoptext For a different task: are there some higher level commands in ctx than \vsplit primitive to play with vbox splitting? Thank you, Jano

As a workaround, you could try switching to pagecolumns: since they are typeset as pages and then rearranged as columns on a page, I expect clubs' and widows' penalties to work as in a single page. I've not tried, anyway. Best wishes, Massi

I've tried and it works as you are expecting. Unfortunately, mine are columns inside one column page, so pagecolumns are not usable. My workaround would be to put paragraphs into vboxes (pars are short) and I was curious, if this workaround is needed or not. Thank you, Jano
