| Summary: Automatically remove widows and orphans from any document | |
Unmodified TeX has very few ways of preventing widows and orphans. In documents
with figures, section headings, and equations, TeX can stretch the vertical
glue between items in order to prevent widows and orphans, but many documents
have no figures or headings. TeX can also shorten the page by 1 line, but this
will give each page a different length which can make a document look uneven.
The typical solution is to strategically insert \looseness=1, but this requires
manual editing every time that the document is edited. Lua-widow-control is
essentially an automation of the \looseness method: it uses Lua callbacks to
find "stretchy" paragraphs, then it lengthens them to remove widows and
orphans. Lua-widow-control is compatible with all LuaTeX and LuaMetaTeX-based
formats. All that is required is to load the package at the start of your
document. To load: Plain LuaTeX: \input lua-widow-control LuaLaTeX:
\usepackage{lua-widow-control} ConTeXt: \usemodule[lua-widow-control] OpTeX:
\load[lua-widow-control]
