no hyphenation over right page break?

no hyphenation over right page break?

[Jelle Huisman]

Hi all,

In my project I \input a number of text files into a double-column 
layout. One of the layout requests is: "no hyphenation over right page 
breaks allowed". I can't think of a way to do this, but I would be happy 
if someone knew a way to prevent hyphenation of the last word of the 
last line in the second column on odd pages. (Yes, I can fix it later, 
but I want to prevent it.) (Still on MkII)

Thanks,

Jelle

There is only \brokenpenalty :

   \brokenpenalty 10000
   \def\defaultbrokenpenalty     {10000}
   \def\defaultgridbrokenpenalty {10000}

This prevents ConTeXt from breaking any page after any line that ends
with a hyphen. That is not quite to what you asked, but it is about the
best that can be done automatically because in TeX, there is no direct
interaction between the paragraph breaker and the page breaker.

(well, you can probably patch the output routine in some way so that
this setting is only in effect on odd pages, but in multicolumn mode
the definition of "odd page" could be problematic).


Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks for this tip. I knew it would not work automatically, but this 
helps at least to detect 'bad' page breaks.

Thanks,
