Page puilder mode sounds interesting! What are you plans for that?
Things like: - overflow area - vertical expansion - more detailed tracing - more accurate \testpage - initial and as-we-go stretch/shrink manipulation Most is already there but in the process of being documented and tested.Atached is an example (from the manual) that shows somethign that can be handy for those who typeset novels and such. (vz is a variant on hz and is something that Hermann Zapf suggested long ago when we discussed vertical expansion.)
Other tricks are:
\setupalign[vertical,height]
....
\setpagelooseness[-2]
....
and such which can be used to influence the current page.
