Hi!
I'm have an org-mode document something like this:
* Period 2012-02-06 to 2012-02-12
** Asset
*** DEPARTMENT
| Data | Data | Data | Data |
|-------------+------+------+------|
| XXXXXX | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| YYYYYY | 5 | 4 | 0 |
(There are more "Assets", each with several DEPARTMENTS. The tables are short, perhaps 10-15 rows.)
When I go to export a PDF, I will often get "DEPARTMENT" at the bottom of one page, with the actual data table at the start of the next. Is there any way to keep the heading together with the table?
I tried using the longtable environment, but that just splits the table itself, so that I might have the heading at the bottom of the page with one row of the table and a continued message. I also tried the LaTeX directives \goodbreak before the headings and \nobreak between the headings and tables but they didn't seem to affect anything.
Thanks very much!

I am familiar with \newpage (and I especially like to put it at the front of the document to keep my content out of my table of contents!), but I was hoping to be able to do this in some more automatic fashion, since these are long reports and I want to be able to process them unattended.

I forgot to put in the ":" after the "#+latex", so it didn't get processed correctly. However, once I did put it in, it does work to keep the headings together with the table data. However... it also seems to embed the spurious word "afterheading" (in italics) after most (but not all) of the top level headings in the file. So, it totally works to keep the headings and tables together, but the /afterheading/ thing is very strange. I've probably still done something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Any ideas? Strange. Maybe, you could send here an ECM (Minimal Complete Example) that shows the bug without the \mykeepwithnextpar and shows the afterheading problem with it... So that one can try to reproduce your problem without loosing too much time, in order to help you better and quicker. BTW, you should put \mykeepwithnextpar after the heading "DEPARTMENT A", not before (as I wrote)... >> > I have written such a thing, years ago, first for LaTeX, now for Org: >> > >> > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- >> > % how not to have a page break with what is following? >> > \def\mykeepwithnextpar{\par\nobreak\@afterheading} >> > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- >> > >> > and I put whereever it's needed >> > >> > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- >> > ** Asset >> > #+latex: \mykeepwithnextpar{} >> > *** DEPARTMENT A >> > | Table | Data | Here. | >> > | Table | Data | Here. | >> > | Table | Data | Here. | >> > *** DEPARTMENT B >> > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

If you want to use @ in a macro in your .tex file, then you have to do something like this: #+LaTeX_HEADER: \makeatletter #+LaTeX_HEADER: \def\mykeepwithnextpar{\par\nobreak\@afterheading} #+LaTeX_HEADER: \makeatother However the best thing is to put the definition in a .sty file: --8<---------------keeper.sty---------------start------------->8--- \def\mykeepwithnextpar{\par\nobreak\@afterheading} --8<---------------keeper.sty---------------end--------------->8--- and then use --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{keeper} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- in your .org file. However, I find it exceedingly difficult to manufacture an example that will produce the bad break that the OP reports: LaTeX seems very reluctant to break after the headline. E.g. in the appended file, I can vary the number of foo lines from 0 to enough to fill the page and I cannot split the DEPARTMENT headline from the table. I also tried various lengths for the table (not very systematically, I must admit) and I still cannot get the default settings to misbehave. This leads me to believe that there are those "other" factors that affect badness: LaTeX thinks that there is something so severely out of whack in the "other" factors that it is willing to make the supreme sacrifice of splitting the headline from the table. So if the OP can provide a misbehaving example, that could help clarify things. Nick PS. Note that the call to \mykeewithnextpar is disabled in the file below.

Yes. That's because the above snippet is already part of the definition of a section (from chapter down to paragraph). IIRC it's defined in the latex kernel. Therefore it should not make any difference if the command is only used directly after a sectioning command. One way to ensure that some part of the document is always seen as a single entity by latex is to put it in a minipage (maybe there are better options, but that's my fallback if I need to ensure that something is always kept together). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

You cannot reproduce it, because I misplaced the call to mykeewithnextpar: it must be between the two things you want to see glue'd together. Hence, in the example you mention, it works perfectly.

My contention is that LaTeX is pretty good at keeping things together that should be together, so the misbehavior indicates some *other* kind of problem: e.g. there is a fairly well known problem that causes all of the figures to end up at the end of the chapter, because the constraints imposed by the user make it impossible to DTRT.

Things that can easily make LaTeX become crazy is changing the color of the titles. In such a case, LaTeX will allow much more easily to break after the title, even if at bottom of page, as changing color somehow affects penalty.

You've made me work like our Thomas: I've made some archeology to find back the answer given by Ulrike Fischer (on 09/22... 2008, 14:57) to one of my questions (on FCTT, the French Tex related newsgroup): Le saut de page vient probablement de \color qui insere un breakpoint. http://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=graphics%2F3417 Tu peux essayer \color{blue}\nobreak.

Indeed, I've *never* made such an idiotic mistake (well, at least not since yesterday) - how could you? :-) OTOH, I tend to forget the + routinely, but you know what they say: to each his own blind spot. On a more serious note, things that need to end up in the preamble should be marked #+LaTeX_HEADER: \def\mykeepwithnextpar{\par\nobreak\@afterheading} (and note my other post about @). The #+LATEX: \foo markup is for things that end up in the document environment. Nick > > However, once I did put it in, it does work to keep the headings together with the table data.

I just tried to export the example posted by Nick. The tabluar is wrapped in a center environment. I think this is the problem. Without the help of something like the minipage environment I think it is impossible to prevent page breaks before the centered object in the general case (the problem is not the centering but the environment "center" is implemented with the help of a list environment and IIRC lists allow page breaks around them).
