Subject: [NTG-context] Spacing between Chapter title and first paragraph sometimes changes

H,
I'm typesetting a memoir for a friend and I've come across a strange
problem which I'm trying to solve. The memoir will be A5 format and has
quite a few chapters which are less than a page long. I noticed that for
some chapters the distance between the the chapter head and the first
paragraph were not aligned in double page view. You can see this quite
clearly in the attached screenshot.
I was given a docx file consisting of 80 chapters and and appendices
which I converted to individual xhtml files. The resulting xhtml files
are very simple and the format is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style001.css" type="text/css" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h2 id="heading_id_no>Chapter Number</h2>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>And so on...</p>
</body>
</html>
In some of the xhtml files I have added <div>...</div> for layout
purposes and also inserted images.
I use xmlsetups to typeset the tags as follows:
\startxmlsetups xml:html
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:body
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:h2
\page
\chapter{\xmlflush{#1}}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:p
\xmlflush{#1}\par
\stopxmlsetups
along with a few others for divs, images and some other tags.
For the chapters setup I use:
\setuphead[chapter][page=no,
number=no,
header=empty,
align=middle,
after={\blank[3cm]}]
I would expect that using this \setuphead, there should be a gap of
three cm between the head text and the first paragraph, however in a few
chapters this does not happen and an extra blank line is either added or
subtracted to the gap.
I'm obviously missing something simple and struggling to find a solution
to correct this problem so I would be grateful for any hints on how to
go about it.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay
