I have 26 balanced columns with simple headers in between and a lot of situations with two columns on one page. (see example). As long as the number of lines of the first columns (AA) is fewer than a certain value around 20 the next columns (BB) will be placed on the same page, but if there are more lines from the first columns they push the second columns to the next page. Is there a way to control this behavior, I would like to be able to keep this second columns starting on this page even if there are only 5 lines of text available for it. (using MkII) \starttext \showgrid \startalignment[center] AA \stopalignment\blank \startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes] \dorecurse{40}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % << this works %\dorecurse{42}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % << this pushes columns (BB) to the next page \stopcolumns \startalignment[center] BB \stopalignment\blank \startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes] \dorecurse{100}{b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b } \stopcolumns \stoptext Thanks, Jelle ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
