[Tex/LaTex] ConTeXt: Keep title on same page with next paragraph

contextcontext-mkivtitles

I have a document with many chapters and sections. All my chapters starts with new page, but sections does not. Sometimes section title appears at the bottom of page alone, next paragraph starts with new page.

-----------------
|               |
| page content  |
|               |
|               |
| section title |
-----------------

-----------------
| paragraph of  |
| the section   |

How to prevent this for all titles authomatically? Section title must be placed on same page with next paragraph.

Best Answer

Depending on how the section headers are set up (show code, please, not ASCII art), a possible option is the \testpage command, used as:

\setuphead [section] [before={\testpage[2]}]

This inserts a page break before a section header, unless at least one line can fit below the header without introducing a page break.

[Tex/LaTex] How to create custom section titles with a “ <number>” format in ConTeXt</a></h5></div><div class='bg-transparent mb-3'> <p>I agree with you that exploiting the document structure is a convenient choice for this end: it offers a high degree of configurability and comes with neat extras like list (read: table of contents) building by default. So the following will be a <em>structure based</em> solution, leaving the enumerations based approach to somebody else.</p> <hr/> <p>The trick is the <em>ownnumbers</em> key of structure headers. It allows precise control over the counter mechanism for every head. Headers that are defined with <code>ownnumbers=yes</code> take a mandatory first argument by means of which their counter value can be set explicitly. Counters created by <code>\definecounter</code> each have their own <em>way</em> key that allows fine-grained control of the reset, or disabling it as required by this question (<code>way=text</code>).</p> <p>Once the counters are in place, all that’s left is to suppress placement of the structure title element. This is done in two parts: First, all headers are defined to be accessed only implicitly. The user level macros <code>\week</code>, <code>\activity</code> and <code>\presentation</code> are wrappers that at the same time pass the headers their “ownnumbers” and an empty title string. Second, placement method <code>\activityhead</code> is defined that chooses the display string from a mapping of labels, ignoring the structure title altogether.</p> <p>(Coding style is mkiv for consistency as <code>\defineheadplacement</code> does not support named arguments.)</p> <pre><code>\unprotect %% (1) define the base commands.
