I need a pagebreak in the ToC to avoid a widow. So far I used the method given in sept 2010 in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html, and still on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break, but it does not seem to work anymore.

MWE (from the first-mentioned site): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.1=page}]

\chapter{x1} \section{xx1} \section{xx2} \chapter{y2} \section{yy1} \section{yy2}

\stoptext

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Compiled with a recent mkiv, from between sept 2015 till july 2016, the result shows no page break in the ToC. What can be done about this?

\showinjector

\setinjector[register][3][\column] \setinjector[list] [2][{\blank[3*big]}]

\starttext \placelist[section][criterium=text] \blank[3*big] \placeregister[index][criterium=text] \page \startsection[title=Alpha] first \index{first} \stopsection \startsection[title=Beta] second \index{second} \stopsection \startsection[title=Gamma] third \index{third} \stopsection \startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection \stoptext

Thanks Hans, for your quick reaction. Maybe my question was not clear enough but in any case your remedy does not help me. I have adapted your MWE containing the remedy a bit to make the problem a bit more obvious: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setinjector[register][3][\column] \setinjector[list] [][{\blank[3*big]}] \starttext \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text] \blank[3*big] \startchapter[title={Introduction}] \startsection[title=Alpha] \index{first} \stopsection \startsection[title=Beta] second \index{second} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={History}] \startsection[title=Gamma] third \index{third} \stopsection \startsection[title=Delta] fourth \index{fourth} \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Index}] \placeregister[index][criterium=text] \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% What I would need is a forced page break in the ToC, in this example before Chapter 2. A few months ago this could still be accomplished by inserting into the preamble "\definelistextra[page][before=\page,after=\page]", and "\placelist[chapter,section][criterium=text,extras={1.2=page}]" in the text. But now, with the same version of mkiv, nothing happens. Has this method of forcing a page-break in the ToC mysteriuosly diswppeared or do I use the worng command? Best regards, Robert Blackstone
