Handling Page Breaks
Default:
Page break
When text area filled
Paragraph break
Two lines at top or bottom of page
TFORM automatically keeps track of the number of lines on a page and
inserts a page break when the page is filled. Sometimes, however, an
automatically generated page break can separate text you prefer to keep
together. You can control page breaks to:
Begin a new chapter or section of text
Skip to the next even or odd numbered page
Leave blank pages
Keep a figure, table, or illustration on a single page
Prevent isolated sections of paragraphs
Starting a New Page
You use the NEW command to begin a new page. If TFORM has already
determined that a page break is necessary, the NEW command you enter is
ignored.
Note
Because TFORM disregards a NEW command if it is already at the top of a page, you can’t
insert a blank page by entering two NEW commands in succession. To insert blank pages,
use the NEW EVEN or NEW ODD command, as explained in the following paragraphs.
To start a new page anywhere in your text, enter this command:
\NEW
Put the NEW command immediately following the last line of text you
want to appear on the preceding page. Don’t leave any blank lines between
the text and the NEW command.
Note
If you’re going to enter any STYLE commands for the new page—for instance, to change
margin settings or paragraph spacing—be sure to include these commands immediately
after the NEW command.
