[...] actually it was something that came up when talking with Hermann Zapf years ago: he suggested to just vertically scale the text area (i actully implemented that an hour later) ... his opinion was that only a very small percentage of readers will notice (at that time we did experiments with hz, the expansion in pdftex: in fact nobody noticed that too, real interesting was that texies commented on all kind of things related to how tex is supposed to work: a clear demonstration that the average user knows what the virtues of tex are but not really sees it) [...] How can I use the vertical scale feature to prevent widows and orphans? not now ... it was a mkii experiment more than a decade ago
Would it be possible to have it in MkIV? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
