Use this setting for your chapter headings (adjust the test page/blank values 
to your needs).

\setuphead[chapter][page=no,sectionstopper=.,before={\testpage[6]\blank[big]}]

BTW: You can replace your numbercommand setting with sectionstopper.

Oh, now I remember: I found that thread when searching through the
archives!

Hans, are there any chances of fixing this?  (Not necessarily within
hours/days, of course, maybe months, but not years;)?)

Hi,

The mechanisms of columns in itemize (which I think is the same as 
startcolumns) and in simplecolumns are indeed different, as Hans indicated once.
The issue you encountered is indeed a bug as you point out: once (a few months 
ago) I had an analogous problem and Wolfgang S. suggested me to use 
simplecolumns to avoid the strange page breaks.

Best regards: OK

I knew that - but as you probably have noticed, the columns done by
\startsimplecolumns and by \startitemize[columns] do not align
correctly.  So this is rather a workaround than a solution.  (Well,
thanks anyway!)

Currently I changed the file a bit and the problem disappeared,
but still I'd like to know what's going on, since this tends to happen
from time to time.  (And this bug - because I guess it's a bug indeed -
has been around for quite a few years: I noticed it for the first time
something like 3 years ago...)

Hi Marcin,

I tested your file and noticed the issue you are reporting. In your case you 
can use \startsimplecolumns to get rid of the page break (however there is a 
small problem with the distance between the text and the items):

OK, so I didn't succeed in isolating this problem.  I attach the
complete file (it's in Polish, sorry;)).  The problem appears at page 3
in the resulting pdf (line 141 of the source file).

I naively tried putting \page[no] in various places around the
problematic line, but to no avail.  Also, while trying to isolate the
problem, for instance by removing things before the itemization, it
turned out that it's difficult to reproduce it: often, everything is
fine (at the beginning of the page as well as near the end).

Any ideas?

  wygrana~I wynosi~\math{3p-4(1-p)}.  Aby wartości te były równe,
  musi być \math{p=\frac{7}{12}}.  Zatem gracz~I powinien

[NTG-context] itemize in two columns and pagebreaks

2012-06-29 Thread Marcin Borkowski 
Hello,

I encountered a weird problem with

\startitemize[columns]

Namely, sometimes ConTeXt (MkIV) puts a pagebreak before the
itemization.  I tried to distill the problem to a minimal example,
until now without success, but I'll post a ME if I'm able to reproduce
a problem in a small file.

Anybody encountered this, too?  Are there any solutions/workarounds
known?

Best,
