Description
The new PDF format is presented much closer to the HTML, and this is all good.
There is one thing that I've noticed that seems to be a regression: [widow/orphan control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans) seems to be non-existent, while previous PDFs seemed to handle them reasonably. Widow examples: pp 49-50, and 50-51. Orphan example: pp 44-45.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the current PDF output with the earlier PDFs around pages 44-45, 49-50, and 50-51, then trace the repository's PDF generation path. Done means the affected sections no longer produce the reported widow and orphan page breaks while the PDF remains consistent with the HTML.
