Basically it quite simply is used to define a classroom activity for students to do. Each classroom activity contains: - A subsection title. - A list of recommended materials (like scissors, glue). - Instructions directed at the student. - Where student write their answers. - A list of requirements, how it will be graded. In testing, I found students are ALWAYS very confused by page breaks: If the assignment title, supplies, and instructions appear on one page, but the area they write/body is on the next page, split there by a page break, the students think the activity is missing. They cannot find the activity. So basically, I need to make it such that items 1, 2, and 3 must appear with at least the start of 4, even if its just the first problem in 10, and even if this means leaving a blank area on the page in front of it. How can I be so precise making sure the page break doesn't seperate the title from the start of the area where students write their answers? Adding page breaks before every activity isn't a good solution, it wastes paper. --Joel [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 8576 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 511 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

To force keep something together, you can use a \framed or a \vbox. With a bit less force, use \testpage[<number of lines>], as in \setuphead[…][after={\testpage[5]}] to insert a page break if there are less than ~4 lines left on the page (you always need a bigger number than you think).
