Subject: \filbreak equivalent in ConTeXt
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:18:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <MFEFJNAPONLOLJPIHFBICEIEEIAA.dh@capdm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20030716142137.31adc706.morawski@gmx.net>

I'm setting a document which is made up of lots of questions, and I want to
keep the questions whole on a page, breaking the page before the question if
the whole question isn't going to fit on it.

Since all the questions are done in ConTeXt as enumerations or descriptions,
I have been looking for a way to specify this behaviour through that
mechanism, but have been unsuccessful. I have had some success using the
plain macro \filbreak (putting one at the start of each question), but since
this is messing directly with vertical spacing, and I know that ConTeXt
doesn't like you to do that (\vskips are known to interact badly with the
white spacing mechanism, for example) I was looking for the ConTeXt-pure way
of approaching the issue.

I'm also getting some oddities from \filbreak which are no doubt to do with
the ConTeXt vertical spacing being interfered with.

Anyone done this before? I imagine someone must have...

Cheers,

Duncan
