Hi Aditya,
Your solution works for normal text following the header.
But if I have a framed text with a background, which also
has a "before={\testpage[3]}" (\definetextbackground[FramedText][
...,before={\testpage[3]},...]) and the section starts with such a framed
text, it can still go wrong. And I guess it can also go wrong if a section
starts with a figure. Is there some way to specify that if less than a
certain number of items (lines of text, frames, figures etc.) fit on the
remainder of the current page, the next page should be taken?
Thanks in advance,
Jos

\testpage[3] checks that you have space for atleast 3 lines in the current
page. So you can use
\setuphead[myhead][before={\testpage[3]\blank}]

if the bbox goes through the middle of a line in an xform then you get
(in acrobat) clipped lines so this avoids that problem

I assume it depends on what you are planning to do with ConTeXt. I've
been using ConTeXt for at least five years now, but I've never touched
TeX (nor LaTeX nor any others, just ConTeXt). I've got a vague idea what
it is about and that's it.
Some points though:
- background in something else than WYSIWYG editing (What You See Is
What You Get = Word, for example) helps a lot. Before I started with
ConTeXt I'd already done my share of html and I've learned to do
structured documents also in word processing (i.e. "mark it heading 1"
instead of "make that big and black).
- I do ConTeXt pretty much with the "learn-as-you-go" philosophy and
when I really have to learn something, I'm pretty determined; most of my
ConTeXt usage is at work and if something needs to be done, it has to
get done and I can't back off if it seems difficult first.
(It took me two days, lot of swearing and a few questions on this
mailing list to achieve my first ConTeXt doc in Cyrillic, but I did it
in the end. Now it is of course as easy as can be...)
- depends on the operationg system and user's backgrouns, too. Those
who've used linux/mainframe are probably less likely to be upset by
ConTeXt while your average Mac/Windows user may go crazy at the steep
start of the learning curve; I'd done some unix and that definitely
increased my tolerance.
There are days when I swear and yell and curse myself for going over
from Word to ConTeXt. But on 9 days out of 10 I pat myself on the back
for making the switch. Especially on those styles when MS Word defies
all of my attempts to keep a document structurally styled...
That's my five cents,
Mari

Thanks.
3 months after release and Debian Lenny is already too old.
Compiling luatex myself and updating minimals, does that work?

If it was any other distro I would be surprised ;)
Lenny is glibc 2.7, right?
> Compiling luatex myself and updating minimals, does that work?
It should, yes. Even better would be if you then sent your binary
to Mojca, since yours will run on more platforms than the current
binary in minimals.
Best wishes,

Thanks, but I will write the source in the following manner:

it's
\def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote
{\hskip3em \startproperty[overprint]#1\stopproperty}}
(i'll make \startoverprint which is actually kind of low level
unexpandable but not \dostartproperty which is not intended as user
command)

Absolutely, and, even better, Bernard, if you're willing to use SVN,
you can even submit the binaries to the repository yourself. Write to
Mojca and me if you want an account on the server.
