[***SPAM***] Widows: penalty without efffect (ConTeXt iv)
Dear List, I ran into trouble with the widow/orphan-control in context. I searched the mailinglist, and saw that there were some other threads on the topic bevore, but as far as I am concerned what was suggested there did not work for me when I tried it. I run context iv using the version which comes with TexLive 2011. First trail was to include \widowpenalty=9000 and \clubpenalty=9000 at the start of the document, before \starttext (cause I do my setups, and definitions there) As this did not work I tried to put them after \starttext. As well I lowered \brokenpenalty. But both approaches, which were suggested in previous Posts on the ntg-context list failed to show an effect in my case. Is there anything I could do to prevent the widow lines? PS.: As I may be doing any noobish errors, here an overview of the documents structure and the placement of the penalty-commands _________________________________ \widowpenalty=9000 \clubpenalty=9000 \definepapersize[janssize][width=190mm, height=245mm] \setuppapersize[janssize][A4] %we can use something like [A5][A4], which is a a5 Page sized Document printed on a A4 sheet \setuplayout[grid=yes, marking=on, location=middle, backspace=30mm, width=110mm]%former: location=doublesided \starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter %TOC... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %the main stuff goes here % Loads of text \stopbodymatter \startappendices %appendices go here \stopappendices \stoptext
Hi, did you see [1]? You have to do something like \starttext \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 My text that should not contain any widow or orphan lines. \stoptext If that does not work for you, please provide a minimal example.

Hi Stephan, Thanks for your help. Seemingly I missed that in my search on the list. \starttext \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 \brokenpenalty=10000 [...] seems to do the job. Reards, Jan On 09.08.2012 14:25, Stefan Müller wrote:

You can change the default penalties with \setuplayout[setups=…], the default setting is \setuplayout[setups=*default] but you can change this to “setups=*strict” which should help. It’s also possible to create your own penalties setup, e.g. \startsetups mypenalties \widowpenalty = 9000 \clubpenalty = 9000 \stopsetups \setuplayout[setups=mypenalties] \starttext … \stoptext Wolfgang
