* If you have a certain run of text that you want to keep together, you can test for the number of lines available on the current page with {{cmd|testpage|[''n'']}}, where ''n'' is the number of lines required. If there are not ''n'' lines available, a page break will be inserted at the location of the {{cmd|testpage}} command.
* For layout from a [[Formatting Objects|XML/FO]] perspective, with some descriptive pictures, see At [http://getfo.sourceforge.net/context_xml/index.html Paul Tremblay's] [[XML]] ConTeXt site.
