The subject says it all. I have text like this: blah blah blah % what the hell to put here? \begin{itemize} \item xyzzy xyzzy xyzzy How do I prevent a page break at the comment, i.e between "blah blah blah" and \begin{itemize}. \nopagebreak does not work, \nobreak does not work etc. What do I do wrong? -- Pekka Nikander Internet: pnr@ngs.fi -or- Finnish Unix systems User Group (FUUG) Pekka.Nikander@ngs.fi Helsinki Unixversity of Technology

This is one of those cases where Lamport's macros are quite strong, and overrule much everything that you try. What happens is that the list environment places a penalty \@beginparpenalty. Therefore, setting this to a high value should do it. \makeatletter \@bginparpenalty=10000 \makeatother is a piece of code that does it. Victor.

Now, if I want to prevent the page break only in some places (not everywhere), there seems to be another way: to place \@nobreaktrue just before the beginning of list. If \@nobreak is true, the penalty is not added but \@nbitem is executed. \@nbitem does not seem to be used anywhere else, so I think I can redifine it if I wish. In standard LaTeX \@nobreaktrue is only called after section and chapter headings. So, I went on and defined in own.sty a new macro: \def\nopgbrk{\@nobreaktrue} Thanks again! -- Pekka Nikander Internet: pnr@ngs.fi -or- Finnish Unix systems User Group (FUUG) Pekka.Nikander@ngs.fi Helsinki Unixversity of Technology
