1.6

By default, to prevent orphans and widows, lines are moved to the next page as soon as two
lines get separated from the rest of the paragraph.
This setting can be changed for the entire Print context, per paragraph and in tables.
Note
Widows and orphans are ignored if the page-break-inside property of the paragraph is
set to avoid.
In the entire Print context
To prevent widows and orphans in the entire Print context:
1.
On the menu, select Edit > Stylesheets.
2.
Select the Print context.
3.
Click New (or, when there are already CSS rules for paragraphs, click the selector p and
click Edit).
4.
Click Format.
5.
After Widows and Orphans, type the number of lines that should be considered a widow
or orphan (this amounts to the minimum number of lines that may be separated from a
paragraph, minus one).
Alternatively, manually set the set the widows and orphans properties in a style sheet:
1.
Open the style sheet for the Print context: on the Resources pane, expand the Styles
folder and double-click context_print_styles.css.
2. Add a CSS rule, like the following:
p { widows: 4; orphans: 3 }
Per paragraph
To change the widow or orphan setting for one paragraph only:
1.
Select the paragraph, using the breadcrumbs or the Outline pane (next to the Resources
pane).
