Re: DropTagItem and Line Breaking

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

The same problem occurs with sections and section titles: you can get the
section title at the bottom of a page and its body on the next page
(orphan/widow) which does not look good.

Would there also be a way to make it unbreakable?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
