	Orphan - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An orphan is a being, typically a human or animal child, whose parents have both died.
		Today, in the first world, most orphaned children are cared for by adoption, or sometimes in the case of older children and minorities by foster care.
		In past times, orphans often lived homeless as "street urchins", or were cared for in almshouses, orphanages, or occasionally monasteries; most modern people feel that this was a mistake, or, at the least, provided suboptimal care.

	Typesetting Summary
		Typesetting once literally meant the setting of type, that is, the arrangement by hand or machine of narrow slugs of metal, usually lead, bearing on their ends the raised images of individual characters.
		Today, however, the term typesetting often refers to computer methods for producing a printer-ready image of a document: that is, an image of the document exactly as it is supposed to look on paper.
		Typesetting, on the other hand, involves the final arrangement of all the visual elements of a document, including font, justification, spacing, margins, indents, captions, character spacing, section heads, and many more.

	Bookslut \| An Interview with Catherynne M. Valente
		The Orphan’s Tales is Catherynne M. Valente’s first book with major distribution, her first volume that’s likely to be found on the shelves of most brick and mortar stores -- but Valente’s earlier books, poetic outpourings that overflow with spillways, currents and whirlpools of words, are also worth seeking out.
		Prose-poems, if poems are a snapshot, are like a short video, removed from any constraint of typesetting or verse or stanzaic strategy, they are still not at the narrative level of a short story, but provide something more than a poem, more voices, more length, more breadth of scope.
		What I tried to do was infuse that familiar folkloric voice with the kind of fascinating language that is so prevalent in Near Eastern, Slavic, and Asian fairy tales, where even at the simile level, the culture is so present and vital and different from standard Western tales.

	What has WYSIWYG done to us?
		A variant of this offline typesetting approach was promoted by associations of publishers keen not to be dependent on particular kinds of typesetting technology.
		And perhaps it is a byproduct of the democratization of typesetting that most users of any mass-market DTP program are satisfied with mediocrity, leaving the vendors and developers with little incentive to improve the typographical capabilities of their systems.
		Nowadays you have typesetting that is done either by subject experts who are unaware of the finer points of typography -- or by designers for whom text is just that boring necessity, the gray patches on the page.

	RE: orphans and widows??
		The context in which orphans and widows was described involves tables and in particular particular rows of the table that need to be kept together.
		In publishing, "orphans" and "widows" are terms used almost interchangeably both referring to runover lines of text.
		Because the terms are often used interchangeably, your friend is telling you to "make orphans" by increasing the tracking--space between characters--of your text in order to create more runover lines or by rebreaking lines manually.

		But now that he was enveloped in the old calico robes which had grown yellow in the same service, he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at once--a parish child--the orphan of a workhouse--the humble, half-starved drudge--to be cuffed and buffeted through the world--despised by all, and pitied by none.

	Re: [Groff] The quest for a high-end typesetting system: A fewquestions
		While this is the default behaviour, it can be switched off so that a base leading of 16 pts stays at 16 pts.
		I thought long and hard about the issue of orphans, widows, etc. before releasing mom, and came to the conclusion that no "automated" strategy is perfect.
		Unless or until groff has a "paragraph" algorithm, I believe that the avoidance of widows/orphans, in quality typesetting, should be under the manual control of the user.

		Traditional troff was first written in the early 1970s by Joseph Ossana at Bell Labs, rewritten a few years later by Brian Kernighan and designed for the computers and typesetting equipment available at the time.
		These are the internal gauges of groff's typesetting machinery.
		Then, we alias the read-only registers for the current point size and vertical line spacing, choosing to use the traditional typesetting terminology--``leading''--for the latter.
