Dear ConTeXt-users,
I'm trying to typeset a small book using ConTeXt (TeXLive 2004), and use the following setup:
\setupbodyfont[rm,12pt]
\definepapersize[BOOK][width=140mm,height=210mm]
\setuppapersize[BOOK][A4] \setuplayout[ [topspace=24mm, header=8mm, headerdistance=10mm, backspace=19.5mm, leftmargin=15.5mm, rightmargin=23mm, footerdistance=5mm, footer=4mm, height=fit, width=fit, marking=on, location=middle]
Page breaks are usually calculated automatically by TeX, but I notice that in my case they turn out to be very bad. A lot of pages are involved, so I wonder how this can be improved? Sometimes even 3 lines could be added without any difficulty to a page by TeX before inserting a page break!
I've tried to use \adaptlayout but it doesn't seem to work, no effect!
Has it perhaps something to do with the setup I use?
no, more with the default penalties, compare:
(for adam: take a look at core-spa, the default setups in there may answer a few of the questions in your postings)
\starttext
\startsetups [test] \resetpenalties\widowpenalties \resetpenalties\clubpenalties \resetpenalties\interlinepenalties \stopsetups
\startsetups [test] \nopenalties \stopsetups
\setuplayout[lines=25,setups=test] \showframe
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \endgraf}\stoptext
