Personally, I find the names used sub-optimal!

we had testpage and that one stays anyway and checkpage is close to that (overloading testpage with a new syntax is messy)

I would think something like conditionalbreak or conditionalpagebreak would be better and verbose.

the new check command could evolve in more than break .. in fact it just checks and then does some action (not per se a break)

Other names could be ifpagelength, ifpagelengthstill, leftonpage, or something similar.

one can say \definepagechecker[leftonpage] and then use it like \chechpage[leftonpage]

I assume you have implemented checkpage as an added layer on top of testpage!

no, the reverse

At least the test is if X lines left on page or still fit on page!

I also have a question. Are the commands setuppagechecker sothat

\definepagechecker[whatever]

\setuppagechecker[whatever] [lines=35, voffset=10pt, before={\vfill\wordright{(see next page)}\par}, after=\noindentation]

and also

\checkpage [lines=35, voffset=10pt, before={\vfill\wordright{(see next page)}\par}, after=\noindentation]

in that case you use those values, while \checkpage [whatever] [lines=12] would overload given whatever values

Question: what is the voffset used for? Line height? If so then a better name for this would be nice, too!

it's 'offset' ... and it's like the second argument of testpage (i can't think of another key so i've chosen one that already is part of context, which has advantages)

regards Keith.

new in beta .... please wikify ...

\definepagechecker [whatever] [lines=35, voffset=10pt, before={\vfill\wordright{(see next page)}\par}, after=\noindentation]

\setupindenting[yes,9pt,first]

\starttext \noindentation \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \noindentation \input knuth\par \checkpage[whatever] \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \stoptext

... i assume that others (read: Wolfgang) will check if the old testpage is compatible -)

Hi Hans,

how about the \ifleftonpage, or something like that?

\if.... is reserved for 'real' ifs ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
