Orphans and widows for specific paragraph groups
I have a couple of questions about preventing orphans for specific document blocks. These all relate to a web-based report card application I have written for a study abroad school client of mine. The ConTeXt file is being generated and processed out of a PHP Laravel framework app. I have stripped away most of the details as well as the application fonts, but the issue that I am facing is related to keeping the course header (done as a paragraph environment), \hairline, and the teacher's comment for that course together as a unit. At a minimum, I would like the three elements as a grouped and pushed to the following page. Ideally, and this is more for my own learning, I'd like to be able to have finer control---say the header, \hairline, and a set number of comment lines would be acceptable at the bottom of a page. What would be the best practices for this? advTHANKSance

I tried to use Aditya's suggestion (which was for Natural Tables) to keep paragraphs on the same page: \noindent{\blank[samepage]} but I don't seem to have much success with the MWE I posted earlier. Try as a might, I cannot seem to keep the paragraph head "{\ss\tfc English (Grade 12)}" and the hairline together. I can, however, keep the hairline and the following lorem text together, but I need all three elements to float as a group: the paragraph header, hairline, and paragraph body. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Many thanks. On 09Jun16, Pavneet Arora wrote: ...

Would anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this? You can put everything in a framedtext to keep it together.

Or, just put everything in a TABLE (that does not split, by default): \setupbodyfont[9pt] \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \setupwhitespace[small] \startsetups subjects \setupTABLE[frame=off, align={normal,hyphenated}] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.3\textwidth] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.7\textwidth] \setupTABLE[row][1][style=\ssc, bottomframe=on, toffset={2\bigskipamount}] \stopsetups \starttext \blank[8*big, force] \dorecurse{10} {\startTABLE[setups=subjects]}] \NC ENG4U \NC English (Grade 12) \NC\NR \NC[nc=2] \input{lorem.tex} \NC\NR \stopTABLE} \stoptext Aditya
