739.0. "<LE> widows/orphans" by 3D::BOYACK (pithy...pithy...pithy) Fri Jul 31 1987 16:19

     Version V1.0, LYNXUG doctype:
     The following code fragment near the end of a page, results in a
     page split between the two <LE>s in the first nested <LIST>(
     UNNUMBERED), even though there was room for both elements on the
     first page. 
 
     <LIST>(NUMBERED\3)
     <LE>Hold the cartridge so that the switch is at the top.
     <LIST>(UNNUMBERED)
     <LE>Red indicator is on.
     <LE>Green indicator is off.
     <ENDLIST>
     <FIGURE>(Tape Cartridge Insertion\FA_TCI)
     <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>(KEEP)
     <FIGURE_SPACE>(30\Similar to drawing MLO-372-85)
     <ENDFIGURE>
     <LE>Push down the cartridge release handle.
     <LIST>(UNNUMBERED)
     <LE>Red indicator is off.
     <LE>Green indicator is on.
     <ENDLIST>
     <ENDLIST>

     Since I didn't want the figure to be preceded by a bulleted
     <LE> at the top of the page, I ended the <LIST>(NUMBERED)
     before the figure as well, and "restarted" it following the
     figure.
 
     <LIST>(NUMBERED\3)
     <LE>Hold the cartridge so that the switch is at the top.
     <LIST>(UNNUMBERED)
     <LE>Red indicator is on.
     <LE>Green indicator is off.
     <ENDLIST>
     <ENDLIST>                                      <-- (added)
     <FIGURE>(Tape Cartridge Insertion\FA_TCI)
     <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>(KEEP)
     <FIGURE_SPACE>(30\Similar to drawing MLO-372-85)
     <ENDFIGURE>
     <LIST>(NUMBERED\4)                             <-- (added)
     <LE>Push down the cartridge release handle.
     <LIST>(UNNUMBERED)
     <LE>Red indicator is off.
     <LE>Green indicator is on.

	I suspect that the page break occurs because we attach a severe page-break penalty to a kept figure and the text immediately preceding it. The page break occurs where it does because the second list element is 'attached' to the figure. Again, I find your workaround to be well-invented; I know you'd rather not spend you time on the workarounds... patti
