Considering the lack of available text and the small page size, what
do you expect context to do, exactly?  It cannot actually rewrite
your document so that there are no widows  orphans, you know...

Best wishes,

[NTG-context] End of page orphan/widow control

2010-11-29 Thread Honza Hejzl
Hello,
could anyone give me an advice how to manage text flow (in terms of
orphan/widow control with controlling of flushbottom raggedbottom effects?).
I am desperate in fact ConTeXt is a great tool but I can't reach effective
way how to control these things. (And be sure I have spent many hours above
manual and wiki… but maybe I am not so technically capable.)

In case I have longer text with many quotations, one-line paragraphs and
direct speech (typically any novel), I am able to reach a stage without
orphans and widows but context do what it want with an end of every
problematic page – it simply shrinks it –1 line. I need to be able to create
simply nice results in a basic-typography point of view of good novel
typesetting (without orphans, widows, on grid and every page the same
height).

Sure I know about \setuptolerance setting but it has (imho) very poor effect
for my purposes. (Sure, maybe I am not using it properly.)

Here is my result:

…see pages 3 and 4, please. This is what I mean and what I wish to manage in
a simple way.

Thank you
