Subject: parallel texts, setuptabulate and widows-orphans control
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 17:14:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1750764.cfY0rSYDAn@max> (raw)
Hello list,
I've found that \start ... \stoptabulate can be used to format parallel texts,
with paragraphs that are synchronized and split well on different pages.
I also found that they don't play well with widow-orphan penalties.
Try this:
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
\starttext
\setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{10000}
\setpenalties\clubpenalties{1}{10000}
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
\NC
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth}
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
The penalties' settings make some lines overlap.
Comment out those two lines and everything works well.
Not a great problem, since I don't think you need
widow-orphan control in parallel texts.
It took me some time to understand what was making
lines overlap.
So I leave it here for future reference, if someone else
stumbles on the same problem.
