TX Text Control has traditionally offered a plethora of rich formatting options for paragraph styles. Most new versions of TX Text Control build on previous versions and add substantial new paragraph formatting capabilities. Version 13.0 is no different.
The following pagination styles have been added to the latest version:
Keep lines together
If the end-user selects this attribute, TX Text Control places all lines of the current paragraph on the same page. TX Text Control does not break this paragraph, but keeps it intact.
Keep with next
By selecting this option, an end-user can force TX Text Control to place the current paragraph and the preceding paragraph on the same page.
Page break before
If the end-user selects this attribute, TX Text Control places the current paragraph at the top of a new page.
Widow and orphan control
A widow is the last line of a paragraph that is printed by itself at the top of a page. Inversely, an orphan is the first line of a paragraph that is printed by itself at the bottom of a page. This is illustrated in the following diagram:

Both widows and orphans are considered to be undesirable typography effects and thus should be avoided in word processing documents, such as newspapers, magazines and books.
TX Text Control 13.0 introduces new widow and orphan control options that can be set from program code and by using the updated shipped Paragraph dialog box. The number of lines that are considered to constitute a widow or orphan can similarly be set programmatically or by using the selection list in the dialog box.
