Page Layout ⇒ Current Page Layout

[rgrice]

Hi,

Can anyone help me? I need to be able to \clearpage if say the current position is 0.9\textheight to stop content being split across pages. I've attached a minimal working example minimal.tex to illustrate the problem ... when it is rendered in MiKTex the record header (\basicRecordHeader) is split over page 1 and 2. I need to be able to insert a \clearpage or \newpage so the second record moves to the beginning of the second page. I've tried using \widowpenalty=10000 and \clubpenalty=10000 but this doesn't work.
What I really need to be able to do is programmatically 'test' and see if the current position is say 0.95\textheight (or whatever the position is relative to the \textheight) and add a \clearpage

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,

you could use the needspace package. With your example (very good that you posted one):

Code: Select all

\usepackage{needspace}
\newcommand{\basicRecord}{%
  \needspace{.1\textheight}
  ...

For details, have a look at the needspace manual.
