[NTG-context] Re: context version 20240118 ("Registerhaltigkeit")
That's it! Many thanks to Hans, Hraban and especially Wolfgang for his
solution. This environment should become part of ConTeXt!
I have been a LaTeX/XeTeX/LuaLaTeX user for over 30 years and used it to
write my papers during my studies and use it for almost all my writing.
Now I wanted to try ConTeXt and will be glad if anyone can help me. As I
said, I am only a user.
Many thanks and best regards
Thomas

It’s not unusual to get that impression. It depends on the current

So the problem is still \hfill that the last paragraph is not on
grid in the new and the old version (and comma).
Grid is not as easy as it looks first. Low level tricks like fills
or skips can mess it up.
Maybe \startlinecorrection helps… (No, it doesn’t.)
It also doesn’t help to add a \blank or \par after \vfill.
I know it, i tried it. And I tried \snaptogrid \vbox {}, it doesn't
work too.
Only counting empty rows and set the number in \blank[ *big] works!
You need a fixed space (multiple of the line distance) between the
text blocks and \vfill is a variable space which isn't what you want
here.
TO get the desired space between the blocks you have to measure the
height of the text at the bottom and calculate the number of lines
which have to be added in the gap. Below is a simple solution which
adds the required number of \blank lines.
\def\PlaceAtBottom
{\par
\dowithnextbox
{\scratchdimen\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal\relax
\ifdim\nextboxht>\scratchdimen

\getnoflines{\dimexpr\textheight-\nextboxht\relax}%

\unvbox\nextbox

Hans, how about adding \blank[fill] for a vertical fill that keeps the
grid (in grid mode, of course)?
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Grid_typesetting is not very helpful,
some links are dead, “someone” should change that.
The details manual has some hints about grid typesetting, but it’s not
an easy read.

[NTG-context] Re: context version 20240118 ("Registerhaltigkeit")
Hi Hans, I might get a bit impatient if I have the impression that others get an answer faster. Sorry for that. I thought my example couldn't be any smaller. The only answer I got from Wolfgang was the question for a mwe. Now I found the missing comma and grid works with the new version of ConTeXt except the last paragraph. With the older version as in MacTeX and without comma, the whole 3-pages-document is on grid. So the problem is still \hfill that the last paragraph is not on grid in the new and the old version (and comma). Sorry again - and I will continue to try Context!
