Prevent widowed words in article titles? - 'no' by default #377

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The preference ‘Prevent widowed words in article titles?’ should default to 
‘No’ for all new installs in my opinion. With the trend towards responsive 
pages, having a non-breaking space in a title can totally ruin the page layout, 
forcing the the heading to spill outside of the container and introducing 
horizontal scroll.

I’ll change the Wiki docs and pophelp to note that this problem can occur, 
but this should be something you have to manually turn on, not turn off.

Widows are to be avoided in printed works, but they are just a fact of life on 
web pages. Using an ugly HTML hack to try to prevent them is bad practice in 
modern web design. And of course, for print CSS you can already use the widows 
rule.
