I'm editing a document (Song of Roland that is a long poem. In other words, it's made up of verses, each of which is anywhere from six to thirty lines long. Each verse is preceded by a separate paragraph containing the "verse number."

I want the reader (for example, the Calibre reader) to display the verses on a single "page" (screen) if possible; in particular, I want the verse number to be on the same "page" as the verse.

I've set page-break-after: avoid on the verse numbers, and I've set page-break-inside: avoid, orphans: 3, and widows: 3 on the verses. However, I'm not seeing any effect on the screen divisions in the Calibre reader.

So, here are my questions:

Which of these attributes does the reader honor?
Is there any other way to achieve the desired effect?
