Long time ago I used WordStar. One of its great feature which dont have a simple substitute in modern word processors is its ".cp" command, ie the conditional page brake command. How it works. if you specify ".cp 10" before a paragraph, then a page break will be inserted immediately if there is only less than (or <= I forgot exact) 10 lines remaining on that page. That way we can make sure a 100 lines paragraph which may stretch more than a page wont start at the bottom of a page. Or ensure heading goes with the following body (MS-Word have work around using keep-with-next property). Do we have any existing CSS property or a combination which can do this? Or else I am proposing a new property "break-before-if" Example break-before-if: 150px; /* breaks page/column if remaining space in the page/column in less than 150px */ Thanks BijuReceived on Wednesday, 15 April 2009 04:29:56 GMT
