Page Layout ⇒ minimum number of lines per paragraph on a each page

[eykanal]

Sorry for the vague subject, but I can't think of how to phrase this better.

I need to specify that a new paragraph near the bottom of the page should contain at least two lines of text. If not, it should begin on the next page. On a similar note, if a page begins with the very end of a paragraph, it should contain at least two lines of text. In Microsoft Word there is an option called "orphan/widow control" in the pagination settings which achieves this. Can this be done with LaTeX? Thanks!

This also can be done LaTeX and is controlled by special penalty registers for widows and orphans.

Code: Select all

\clubpenalty10000
\widowpenalty10000

These lines go into the preamble of your document.
