+
+The grid snapper in \MKIV\ is quite different from the one in \MKII. For not too
+complex layouts the old grid snapper was quite ok, but the new one should be a
+bit more robust. In the old situation the running text was assumed to fit on the
+grid and the normal baseline skip should do the job in combination with the grid
+aware spacing features and placement mechanisms like tables and figures.
+
+Snapping on a fixed grid is sort of counter intuitive in \TEX\ because it has an a
+advanced spacing model with glue. Publishers however love grids so we do need to
+support it. Of course when complex layouts are involved in a later stage of
+document preparation the grid is often abandoned. This manual uses the grid but I
+personally never use the grid. There are better ways to make your document look
+good and often a grid snapped document doesn't look that great anyway, because
+all elements should somehow fit in multiples of the line height.
+
+The \MKIV\ snapper does more analysis and therefore can compensate for the more
+nasty cases. Of course it can still fail but we hope to fix those cases when we
+run into them. Grids are controlled by keywords or a combination of them.

+\stoptyping
+
+As you can see, keys like \type {maxdepth} can take a criterium as extra detail,
+separated by a colon. These options look obscure and often you need to trial and
+error a bit to get what you want. This is no real problem because most cases are
+handles automatically. Only headings and structuring elements that exceed a
+line height might need some treatment. For instance you might want to be more
+tolerant for (fractions of) a point overflow or when you know that always a blank
+follows you can decide to limit the height of some element to a line. Some of
+the options, like \type {math} and \type {middle} are used internally.
+
+On the next pages we show how the \type {maxheight} and \type {maxdepth}
+fractions work on a sample line.

+We now come to the topic of this chapter: snapping heads. The problem with
+section heads is that they often exceed the line height. Even worse, they can
+be more than one line high.
+
+The next pages show some ways to control snapping around heads. The result can be
+confusing, even when we use a font that we assume behaves like a regular style.
+For instance in Latin Modern the bold style has larger heights and depths than
+the regular style and even 0.1pt can force the snapper to add a line. The
+examples use that font.
+
+The grid option of \type {setuphead} normally takes one keyword that refers to
+the local snapper. However, the result gets then snapped again. This is because
+the local snapper can use a different line height. Historically the local snapper is
+the default but you can force global snapping by prefixing with the \type
+{global} keyword. The next table summarizes the ways you can control snapping:
+
+\starttabulate

+\NC \type {local} \NC local snapping plus global snapping \NC \NR
+\NC \type {foo} \NC local \type {foo} snapping cf.\ font style plus global snapping \NC \NR
+\NC \type {local:foo} \NC local \type {foo} snapping cf.\ font style plus global snapping \NC \NR
+\NC \type {global} \NC global snapping \NC \NR
+\NC \type {global:foo} \NC global \type {foo} snapping \NC \NR
