[comp.text.tex] LaTeX pagebreaks

ger@prisma.cv.ruu.nl (Ger Timmens) (12/07/90)

I've got some trouble writing a document.
LaTeX seems to insert pagebreaks when it is not necessary.
Text of the next page should be on the preceeding page.
Another problem is that on some page LaTeX doesn't seem to
insert a pagebreak, so the page continuous beyond its bottom.
(I'm using the \raggedbottom style option, the \flushedbottom
style doesn't seem to solve the problem).

Does anyone have the same problems, writing a large document
(or a solution) ?

Thanks in advance,

I have encountered this sort of problem with LaTeX when building a document
consisting only of \section and \subsection declarations, but with no normal
text between the declarations.  This omission would cause the formatting to
run beyond the end of the page.  I solved it by building my outilnes with the
form

\section{First Section}
~ % An explicit blank space keeps the formatter happy.
\subsection{First Subsection}
~
\subsection{Second Subsection}

If that is not your problem, it sounds as if you have failed to close a figure
or a table environmnent.
