Widow is a CSS property from the CSS2 era, which is part of the “paged media” specifications, it isn't relevant to screen media. Orphans are a related concept that are, but have never been implemented in any media. I propose that we do. An orphan is a singular word that drops to a new-line at the end of a sentence. They're a typographic no-no and never happen in professional print. I'd like to have something like: h2 { orphans: 2; } which would control the minimum number of words that must be dropped onto a new-line if a new-line is required.Received on Thursday, 5 January 2012 12:30:38 GMT
