When text reaches the end of a column, it appears to trigger inserting a blank page. In the following code, \dorecurse{3} causes a blank page to appear but \dorecurse{2} does not. The only difference is that when set to 3, the additional text is written on the last line of the last column. This scenario results in a blank page.

Any ideas how the blank page can be suppressed?

\showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes]

\starttext    \startcolumnset[n=2]      \input knuth \input lorem \input lorem \input knuth      \dorecurse{3}{No TV and no beer make Homer something something.}    \stopcolumnset \stoptext

Thank you!

What about: \installpagebreakhandler{last}{}

(I have this in most of my documents, but I'm not sure it works with columnsets.)

Better use this setup to get rid of the extra page in a doublesided document. \setuppagenumbering[page=no] Wolfgang

Commenting out the \page_grd_command_flush_page macro seems to have reversed the effect. Any pages having columnar text that does not extend to the last line are now suppressed. How would I go about adding a conditional that checks to see whether the column is filled before deciding if a page break is necessary? \unprotect \def\page_grd_stop{% \endgraf % needed, else wrong vsize in one par case \vfill % otherwise weird \placenotes[endnotes] \page_grd_command_set_vsize % needed \penalty\c_page_otr_eject_penalty %\page_grd_command_flush_page \page_otr_fill_and_eject_page \page_grd_command_set_vsize % why here \egroup \page_otr_command_set_vsize \page_otr_command_set_hsize} \protect Thank you!
