Do the normal controls \widowpenalty and \clubpenalty work with Context? Do they work with ordinary columns? Do they work with columnsets? Are there higher level Context constructs I should be using for this purpose in columns?

No? What about tolerance? I thought vertical tolerance would wrap these penalties, too?
Grüßlis vom Hraban!
Well, I tried \widowpenalty=10000 and \clubpenalty=10000 but still got a lonely widow at the top of a column at the top of a page. This was with regular columns, not columnset. \tolerance (and \pretolerance) as defined in the text book relate to setting of paragraphs and hyphenation. I am not familiar with the concept of vertical tolerance. I can of course play with looseness in the particular paragraph. But I was looking for a more global solution. In single column work in e.g., pdftex the above widow and club penalties get the job done. Should I toy with e.g., \baselineskip (value) plus (value)? This seems too bitfiddly for a high level macro set like Context. But I will do what is required. Just point me in the right direction and pull the trigger :) John Culleton John Culleton ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!
