Q: If a page break is not conditional then it's unconditional, right? |

Hello again. Today's question: Why is Lout ignoring my @NP ? I have
several pages where there's a full-width header followed by a two-column
body. Both columns are full of drop-tag items, some of which contain
tables. One of the drop-tag items often splits across columns, so I
want to force it to the top of the next column. The drop-tag item
just preceding it isn't a true drop-tag, since there's no second
part. I've done:
@DropTagItem { @B { TYPE OF INSTITUTION } { Public } }
@NP @DropTagItem { @B { INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION } }
lines @Break { Not reported }
It ignores the @NP, and splits "INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION" and "Not
reported" across two columns. What am I missing?
Oh, and is there a good way to reduce the extra space left after the
first drop-tag (the one without a line after the tag)?
P.S. I finally decided to brute-force the vertical space problem by
injecting a /0.075i in the few spots where lines were just
overwriting parts of each other.
