Widows and Orphans
Posted by Rube | 13 February, 2005
Just a factoid for the stream:
In typesetting, you generally want to avoid leaving a line of a paragraph by itself on a page. When it's the first line, it's called a widow When it's the last line, it's called an orphan. In German, you called the first line a Cobbler's boy (Schusterjung), and the last line 'son of a whore' (Hurenkind).
Carry on.
