	Widow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "widow" is less frequently applied to a surviving husband in a gender-neutral manner, and is sometimes applied to a woman or man whose unmarried life partner has died.
		A widow sometimes carried on her late husband's business and consequently accorded certain rights, such as the right to enter guilds.
		For instance, in India there is often an elaborate ceremony during the funeral of a widow's husband, including smashing the bangles, removing the bindi as well as any colorful attire, and requiring the woman to wear white clothes, the colour of mourning.

	Widow (typesetting) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In typesetting, there are two, conflicting definitions of the term widow.
		Widows in both senses are considered confusing and typographically unattractive, and they are usually corrected.
		Many typesetters have a trouble remembering the difference between orphans and widows, and it seems that the traditional distinction has become somewhat blurred over the years.

	Typesetting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The general principle of typesetting remains the same: the composition of glyphs into lines to form body matter, headings, captions and other pieces of text to make up a page image, and the printing or transfer of the page image onto paper and other media.
		Hand compositing was rendered obsolete by continuous casting or hot-metal typesetting machines such as the Linotype machine and Monotype at the end of the 19th century.
		During the mid-1970s Joseph Ossanna, working at Bell Laboratories, wrote the troff typesetting program to drive a Wang C/A/T phototypesetter owned by the Labs; it was later enhanced by Brian Kernighan to support output to different equipment such as laser printers and the like.

	Ms Widows (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In families in which the husband was the sole provider, widowhood could plunge the family into poverty, and many charities had as a goal the aid of widows and orphans.
		Widows sometimes carried on their husbands' businesses and were consequently accorded certain rights, such as the right to enter guilds.
		For instance, in India there is often an elaborate ceremony during the funeral of a widows' husband, including smashing the bangles, removing the bhindi as well as any colorful attire and making the woman wear white clothes.

	widow_(typesetting) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In typesetting, a widow describes the last line or word of a paragraph appearing at the top of a page, with the remainder appearing on the preceding page.
		Widows, in this sense, are usually considered unattractive typographically and should be suppressed.
		Also, an orphan is a paragraph left alone at the beginning of its life, while a widow is left alone at its end.

	TeX Frequently Asked Questions -- question label "widows" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Widows (the last line of a paragraph at the start of a page) and orphans (the first line of paragraph at the end of a page) interrupt the reader’s flow, and are generally considered “bad form”; (La)TeX takes some precautions to avoid them, but completely automatic prevention is often impossible.
		If you are typesetting your own text, consider whether you can bring yourself to change the wording slightly so that the page break will fall differently.
		Therefore, for typical layouts, there are only two sensible settings for the penalties: finite (150 or 500, it doesn’t matter which) to allow widows and orphans, and infinite (10000 or greater) to forbid them.
