I'd like to use a divider between certain paragraphs. As I want to keep all the lines on the grid so it should have a height = N x line height.

As \hl renders the line on baseline, I have to tweak the space before/after using the 'blank' command to keep the horizontal line in the +/- middle:

\setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \showlayoutcomponents

\starttext \input{ward} \blank[4mm]\middlealigned{\hl[4]}\blank[6mm] \input{ward} \stoptext

But this solution requires adjustments for different fonts or font sizes...

Is there a more efficient way how to accomplish this?

Additionally, I'd like to keep that divider with the previous content (paragraph). In this case AFAIK \testpage[n] cannot be used directly in the divider definition as it breaks the page at position of this command. I'd like to express rather: If there is no space for three lines, break the page, but grab few previous lines (at least 2) together with me (according to orphan/widow settings). The current behaviour can be demonstrated using this example: \startsetups[grid][mypenalties] \setdefaultpenalties \setpenalties\widowpenalties{2}{10000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties {2}{10000} \stopsetups \setuplayout[grid=yes, setups=mypenalties] \showgrid \showlayoutcomponents \starttext \blank[force, 30*line] \input{tufte} \blank[4mm]\middlealigned{\hl[4]}\blank[6mm] \stoptext In my case the divider is used also to emphasise Chapter ends - so it is very often the last element one the page and there is no need to check also the space which follows (whether next lines will fit or not). So 'keep-with-previous' is enough for me. Jan
