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. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...
