Preventing widows and orphans
Widows and orphans are lines at the beginning or at the end of a paragraph respectively,
dangling at the bottom or at the top of a page, separated from the rest of the paragraph.
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. The same applies to list items (in unordered,
numbered and description lists).
The number of lines that should be considered a widow or orphan can be changed for the
entire Print context, and per paragraph and in tables.
Note
Widows and orphans are ignored if the page-break-inside property of the paragraph is
set to avoid; see "Preventing a page break" on page130.
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 minimum number of lines that should be kept
together.
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 }
