[NTG-context] Tracking overfull/underfull vboxes, widows/orphans

Hi, some time ago Hans has added these trackers for overfull/underfull hboxes: I'm wondering if there is something similar for vertical boxes? I've found these trackers: builders.vspacing builders.vpacking builders.page_vspacing builders.collect_vspacing But I don't really understand what they

Hi Peter, Thanks for the reference to your thread from 2006. In my post the other day, I was just wishing for a changebar capability to be fully integrated to ConTeXt now that we have LuaTeX. Leveraging Lua, we could have a cross-platform way to visually markup the changes between two versions.
