General ⇒ layout log

[Ledurt]

Hi all
I have some page breaks that don't make sense to me. One one page, there's only two lines at the top. The rest of the page is empty and on the next page, the beginning of a new section with \section.

I tried the layout commands like \nopagebreak[4] and it didn't change anything.

So now I am wondring "Is there a way to know with latex took that decision?"

In the latex companion, they say we can, but they don't say how....

Any one has an idea?

Do you use the \include{filename} command to merge separate files into one document? When doing so, use the \input{filename} command instead.

no, it's all one document

What's your preamble?

My point is not to solve that particular document. I would like to have a way to diagnostic why latex took thoses decisions. is it possible?

It's useful to know your preamble to understand why it happened. Certain classes of documents or certain packages impose that a section begins a new page,that's all. Try a package like titlesec. It lets you change easily the formatting of sections, subsections, chapters and so on.
