\columns and widows.

\columns and widows.

[John Culleton]

The \columns command works sometimes and not sometimes.  Is there a
way to force end-of-column similar to \page[yes] for pages?

Is there a way to discourage club (orphan) and widow lines between columns?
I have already cranked up \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty to 1000 each.

Well, first I corrected myself and use \column which is what the
manual specifies. It still doesn't work however. I have a situation where I 
want to force a column break at one point and later at the end of the page I 
use
 \page[yes]. 
Context ignores the \column command, whether I say balance=yes
or balance=no. So again, how do I FORCE a column break?

\vskip100cm may be of help

On my particular document that is overkill. I settled for something around
\vskip 3in
depending on the particular subsection. The bigger the \vskip the shorter the
following column, which is interesting. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I have accents that don't accent. The string divorc\'{e}e comes out
divorcee without any accent mark. The type is ``pncr8r sa 1'' which means 
the main body font is New Century Schoolbook Roman.

actually, you may give the following a try:

\column[yes]
