The widow can also make the page look unbalanced since it often cuts off the upper right corner of the text block. The widow can also feel annoying for the readers since they have to remember the start of a sentence then find the continuation and might be disappointed to find just a tiny snippet. If the paragraphs are indented it also cuts off the corner of the text block in the lower left corner, making the pages look unbalanced. The orphan makes the readers start reading a sentence and then immediately forces them to move their eyes to the top of the next column or page or to turn the page. It always hurts my eyes to see those tiny snippets of text. They should in my opinion always be avoided, but in some cases you can be forced to accept them because the alternative is worse. I can't see how orphans and widows can ever be a "good thing". To this end, I'm really thinking more about print design. I do realize that in responsive web layouts text control is merely not something which can be present at all times and often "you get what you get" and that's "as good as it'll get". Is it even possible to control such matters in live HTML text?.If so, what are some good methods for removing them, assuming copy editing is not permissible?.Is there a reason to allow either of them in text?.An orphan is the beginning of an incomplete sentence which appears at the end of a column or page.An orphan is a sentence fragment separated from its sentence at the end of a page or column.A widow is the end of an incomplete sentence which appears at the beginning of a column or page.A widow is a sentence fragment separated from its paragraph at the start of a page or column.
