Orphans and Windows

Orphans and Windows

[Malte Stien]

G'day everyone,

I use introductory sentences to numbered lists all the time, like this (where \startnlist...\stopnlist is a custom itemised list):

To remove a foo from a pool of foos:
\startnlist
  \item Do this...
  \item Do that...
  \item ...and so on...
\stopnlist

On occasions, I am getting that introductory sentence as an orphaned line at the end of a page and my numbered list as the first thing on the next page. How can I avoid that? There is not much about orphans and widows on the Wiki or in the reference manual.

Thank you,
Malte.

Use the “intro” keyword for the itemgroup, i.e. \startnlist[intro].
