No widows and orphans
I do not want to have widows and orphans. Because of this I use: \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 But this has no effect. Still the last two lines of a paragraph are put on the next page instead of the complete paragraph. I somewhere read about using: setups=*strict so I now have: \setuplayout[ header=0mm, setups=*strict, ] This makes it a little better. Now three lines are put on the other page. Is it possible to get the complete paragraph on the other page? -- Cecil Westerhof

I think you are confusing things here: orphans and widows refer to single lines on the following/preceding page. So if you get two lines, you get exactly what you ask for. If I understand you correctly, you do not want to break paragraphs vertically at all? Thomas

Okay, I did not understand the terminology correctly. Yes, in this particular case I would like not to break them. What would also be acceptable is when there are at least five lines on the page. -- Cecil Westerhof
