Constraint in line numbers

Constraint in line numbers

[Fulvio]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 394 bytes --]

Hi, this is my first message in this ml ;)

Well, I've a stupid constraint in a work: I must limit the number of
lines in a page. I have to have 32-35 lines on each page.

Now, the task isn't too complex in principle, I can work on interline
sizes and glues, but this way is a little bit tricky.
I wonder if there is a better (and elegant) way to manage the problem.

Thanks
	Fulvio

You can the number of lines on a page with the \setuplayout command.

\setuplayout[lines=20]
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{Line \recurselevel\par}
\stoptext

Of course there is a static  idea of "line" that depends on the current font
and a dynamic idea of row that depends on the current document: here
is an exaggerated example

\setuplayout[lines=20]
\newdimen\T \T=1.5mm
\starttext
\dorecurse{40}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel}\par}
\dorecurse{100}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel\vrule width1pt height
\recurselevel\T depth \recurselevel\T}\par}
\stoptext

Very good hints, thank you! I'll investigate on them in the next few
days! :)
