Hi Hans, I am trying to download http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswincontext.zip but there is no connection to pragma-ade.com or .nl at all. Are you working on the server, when is it up again? BTW: Is there already a more recent (after Dec.2004) version of mswincontext.zip ? Thanks, Steffen
Looks like the http server is down (again?). Try this: http://context.aanhet.net/context/install/mswincontext.zip (same version, dec 6, fetched 2 minutes ago using rsync) Greetings, Taco Steffen Wolfrum wrote:

Dear ConTeXt experts: I'm trying to learn to use ConTeXt for book publishing (wonderful program!) but can't seem to find answers to a couple of questions: 1. How can I turn *off* protection against widows? (Last line of paragraph at top of page.) 2. How can I turn on \flushbottom (LaTeX command) to space lines *inside* paragraphs but not *between* paragraphs? 3. How can I tell ConTeXt not to break fewer than three characters at the end of a word? (I don't want two-letter breaks like "hard-ly") Thanks very much for your help. Best wishes, Jack M.

1. How can I turn *off* protection against widows? (Last line of paragraph at top of page.)
This is discussed in greater detail in the new (in-progress) style manual, normally available at: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf But also mirrored (pragma server down) at: http://context.aanhet.net/general/manuals/style.pdf I think what you want is: \widowpenalty 0
2. How can I turn on \flushbottom (LaTeX command) to space lines *inside* paragraphs but not *between* paragraphs?
I'm not sure. Peter Münster's email helped me understand the problem a little more, but I think he misinterpreted your lines vs paragraphs directive. Digging around in the source code (sigh), I do notice a parameter that might help. Try these two in combination: \setupinterlinespace[stretch=0.08] % experimentation needed! \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] I'm not an expert in this area, so don't take this as the final word! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Yes indeed. I thought of the LaTeX command only...
\setupinterlinespace[stretch=0.08] % experimentation needed!
I'm also very interested in these kinds of problems (and solutions ;). It seems to me, that with this parameter, interline-spaces can get smaller but not bigger. (I've just tried the example on http://contextgarden.net/Flush_bottom) Could you explain this parameter a bit further?
\setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict]
I know the meaning of strict and tolerant in horizontal context, but what does it mean in vertical context? I didn't see any difference between \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] and \setuptolerance[vertical,verytolerant] Thanks in advance for further comments! We can put it on the wiki then.

I'm curious because it's the flip side of the grid typesetting I was learning about earlier this week. I have no special insights, here...

I think it allows it to become bigger by the same factor.
(I've just tried the example on http://contextgarden.net/Flush_bottom) Could you explain this parameter a bit further?
um, no? :) I just stumbled across it in core-spa, and empirically determined that it would give a bit of variability to the interline spacing, which is what the original poster asked for. I *think* it's a multiple of \openlineheight by which the interline space can vary +/-. So the factor cited above seems like it can cause a variance of up to 16% in line spacing. (And I can imagine Hans is biting his tongue on this because this big variance can cause a huge difference in the colour of the text block. :)
\setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict]
I know the meaning of strict and tolerant in horizontal context, but what does it mean in vertical context? I didn't see any difference between \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] and \setuptolerance[vertical,verytolerant]
I've always been hazy on the distinction myself.
Thanks in advance for further comments! We can put it on the wiki then.
Anyway, addressing the original poster's requirements, allowing *no* stretch in the inter-paragraph spacing (whitespace) makes it hard for the interline space to handle the whole job of reaching the text block on its own. I'd suggest looking at the definition of \defineblank and how small/ medium/big are defined in order to get a better balance. In the following example (modified from the wiki), the spacing adjustment is a lot less strained if I do \setupwhitespace[big] instead of 12pt. \widowpenalty 0 \setupinterlinespace[stretch=0.09] \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict,stretch] \setupwhitespace[12pt] \starttext \showframe \section{Section} \input ward \par\input knuth \par\input zapf \section{Section} \input tufte \par\input zapf \par\input tufte \input knuth \section{Section} \input hawking \par\input bryson \par\input tufte \section{Section} \input knuth \input knuth \par\input knuth \input ward \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Nothing ground-breaking. Mostly that it's set up with: \setuplayout[lines=35,grid=yes] And that XeTeX (Mac-enhanced engine) is very responsive to tweaking of the height and depth parameters.

Yes, that's the reason why I prefer the LaTeX version of \flushbottom... ;-) Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
I figured out how to specify a minimum number of letters on a word break (hyphenation). For example, I don't want ConTeXt to break "hard-ly." The solution is in the manual; I just couldn't find it for a while. Here it is: \installlanguage[en][lefthyphenmin=3,righthyphenmin=3] \setuplanguage[en] Of course, you'll need to change the language to whatever you need. Best wishes, Jack M.
