Does baselevel 8 fix the problem of widows in lists, including nested
lists?
A document produced under baselevel 7 resulted in something like the
example shown below. If it's significant, the document was produced for
MEMO and LN03 destination.

2.0 WHY CATS CLIMB ON COUNTERS
Who knows? They won't do it while you're looking, but turn
your back and they *will* climb on your counters!

There was no specific work done on penalties for page breaks in
lists. This has been a lower priority item.

It's too bad that DOCUMENT doesn't take special care to trap widows and orphans. Doing so would certainly make for nicer documents (as Rose's example showed). Unfortunately, it's the writers and editors that catch it in the Kidneys when DOCUMENT does something silly or allows silly things to happen (such as widows). My manager doesn't care that I can't make sure a document doesn't have widows. He just says "That line at the top of the page is ugly - can't you move it to the previous page? And I say, tail between my legs, that I can't because that's the way VAX DOCUMENT does things. Please consider fixing widows and orphans in the next version. Also, please give me the capability to do a page-break test so that I can make sure I don't generate window lines anymore. Thanks! BobW | |||||

We hope there are not too many widows, and we *do* give people a
way to modify page breaks during a final, 'clean-up' pass.
The wishlist item for a .test-page like tag is indeed on the list.
