Subject: Orphans and widows for specific paragraph groups
Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 16:18:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160609201811.GM39769@lahore> (raw)

I have a couple of questions about preventing orphans for specific 
document blocks.

These all relate to a web-based report card application I have written 
for a study abroad school client of mine.  The ConTeXt file is being 
generated and processed out of a PHP Laravel framework app.

I have stripped away most of the details as well as the application 
fonts, but the issue that I am facing is related to keeping the course 
header (done as a paragraph environment), \hairline, and the teacher's 
comment for that course together as a unit.

At a minimum, I would like the three elements as a grouped and pushed to 
the following page.  Ideally, and this is more for my own learning, I'd 
like to be able to have finer control---say the header, \hairline, and a 
set number of comment lines would be acceptable at the bottom of a page.

What would be the best practices for this?
