Hello, unfortunately, \synchronizeoutput does not help here.

I also tried things like "\placetable[bottom]" but no luck...

Could you help?

\starttext \section{bla} \subsection{bla} \startitemize \dorecurse{21}{\item bla} \stopitemize \placetable{a table}{\vbox to 8cm{bla}}

\section{bla} \subsection{bla} \synchronizeoutput % this does not help here... \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead\bTR\bTH bla\eTH\eTR\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD bla\eTD\eTR}\eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext

it's a boundary case: when the subsection is placed, the pagetotal is pretty large because the previous page is not yet flushed, so ther eis no room for a table piece you can put something \strut \vskip-\lineheight \nobreak before the table, which triggers the otr or say: \setuphead[section][before={\testpage[10]\blank}] which also does some testing (force page break when less that 10 lines) and is cleaner -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
