Subject: Re: \setupparagraphs - can they run over two pages?
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2023 07:28:22 +1100	[thread overview]

Yes, tabulate is a solution, though as I have just described for Denis 
who also responded to this issue, by some careful manipulation (which 
was possible for the circumstance I was dealing with) I simply noted 
where the page break occurred and started a new set of paragraphs after 
that. That was satisfactory in this case. Tabulate might have to be the 
solution for a different set of circumstances.
