It (the control) should be turned ON
with reasonable settings to STOP making those orphans.
HTML is simple in most cases, and you probably should not be using the extreme cases for books that will be used (read) on many devices.
CSS is simply a styling
Master Control that can be used across many sections.
Want to make Chapter headings Bolder, adjust the CSS (assumes that the Chapters have a unique style class).
Word Conversions make terribly bulky CSS
Find some books you like the 'style' of here at MR and look at the (x)HTML Code and CSS (Sigil is great for this)
IMHO a simple (stylistically) book should have a stylesheet under 300 lines
