This is a great thread, thanks! But I have an ignoramus's question about Jon's CSS:
>It also sets widows and orphans both to 1 otherwise, it doesn't look so good on screen
What's a "1" in the case of widows/orphans, a line or a word or a character? I'm guessing a line, so what does it do with 1 line, pull a second one to the next page with it?
I can understand why a widowed line might strike people as odd, but I've never seen anything wrong with the orphan. I accept them in print editions regularly, while I'll tweak spacing or revise text to prevent having one or two lines alone at the top of a page, maybe even three lines for a left-hand page.
