It’s a novel of ~650 pages with a big range of paragraph lengths (some dialogues with short lines as well as paragraphs that span pages). “Of course” you often get a 3-line paragraph over a page break – it’s hard to avoid widows and orphans.
depends .. three liners can be made to work in fact one should then use \widowpenalties and \clubpenalties with a high value for the first two entries (and maybe disable them to overlap)
I have \setpenalties\widowpenalties{2}{8000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties{2}{10000}
Does this make sense? While I saw in your demonstrations that it’s possible to set different penalties per line, I never tried.
That's kind of high: a four line paragraph now gets line 10000 line 18000 line 8000 line
Otherwise, I found out the easiest solution is a \vbox, VZ does the rest. Should have thought of that earlier, would have saved me a few hours.
often pretty bad spacing (you can also start a paragraph with \linepanelty10000) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
