New subject: \item would fit, but was pushed to next page. Work-around or fix?

5 Jun 2024


      Hi,
I had the following structure which ended up at the bottom of a page:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\setupcaptions[number=no]
\placefigure[right]
    {blah blah blah}
    {%
        \vskip -15pt
        \externalfigure[DSC_2782][width=0.32\textwidth]
    }
\noindent
{\bf Blah blah blah }
\startitemize[intro,nowhite]
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah!  blah blah blah blah, blah
  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah.
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah blah blah blah blah.
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah.
\item blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  blah blah blah blah blah.
\stopitemize
--------------------------------------------
There was, in fact, room to put the last \item on the page (and even a bit
more), but ConTeXt insisted on moving the last \item to the next page.  I
assume that its calculations were a bit conservative for whatever reason,
but I really wanted the last item to be on the same page as its friends.
I tried some "tricks" that would have worked for me in plain TeX, but
ConTeXt was having none of that.
Q1: Is there a Right Way to force ConTeXt to put an \item on the current page?
Q2: If not, does anyone wish to suggest some way to trick ConTeXt here, or
    to do an end-run around its calculations?
Note: to solve this problem the use of brute force has been authorized.
Thanks.
Jim
