Re: OT: Orphans and Widows (which is which)

[Bill Briggs <web@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's try that again, with the typos fixed.

"Typographic terminology is telling. Isolated lines created when paragraphs begin on the last line of a page are known as orphans. They have no past, but they do have a future, and they need not trouble the typographer. The stub-ends left when paragraphs end on the first line of a page are called widows. They have a past but not a future, and they look foreshortened and forlorn. It is the custom - in most, if not all, the world's typographic cultures - to give them one additional line for company."
