Hello,
could anyone give me an advice how to manage text flow (in terms of
orphan/widow control with controlling of flushbottom raggedbottom effects?).
I am desperate in fact ConTeXt is a great tool but I can't reach effective
way how to control these things. (And be sure I have spent many hours above
manual and wiki… but maybe I am not so technically capable.)
In case I have longer text with many quotations, one-line paragraphs and
direct speech (typically any novel), I am able to reach a stage without
orphans and widows but context do what it want with an end of every
problematic page – it simply shrinks it –1 line. I need to be able to create
simply nice results in a basic-typography point of view of good novel
typesetting (without orphans, widows, on grid and every page the same
height).
Sure I know about \setuptolerance setting but it has (imho) very poor effect
for my purposes. (Sure, maybe I am not using it properly.)
Here is my result:

and source file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/kresadlo.tex
…see pages 3 and 4, please. This is what I mean and what I wish to manage in
a simple way.
Thank you
Jan Hejzl
