![]() ![]() A word, part of a word, or very short line that appears by itself at the end of a paragraph.A paragraph-opening line that appears by itself at the bottom of a page/column.A paragraph-ending line that falls at the beginning of the following page/column, thus separated from the rest of the text.The Chicago Manual of Style uses these definitions: There is some disagreement about the definitions of widow and orphan what one source calls a widow the other calls an orphan. In typesetting, widows and orphans are words or short lines at the beginning or end of a paragraph, which are left dangling at the top or bottom of a column, separated from the rest of the paragraph. A widowed line: the last line of a paragraph, all alone on the other side of a page break.Īt the end of the first paragraph, the word "lorem" is an orphan in the second sense: a very short final line that, because the rest of its line is white, creates an impression of two lines of whitespace between the paragraphs.
