Re: [Docutils-users] How to keep paragraphs or table rows together

[engelbert g. <eng...@gm...>]

as this, keeping paragraphs and tables together, is a layout problem and
therefore is depending on the output format, it actually is nothing
docutils, or AsciiDoc could or should do. Docutils is no typesetter, that
would be the browser in the case of html, in which case the "page"-size is
volatile.

I would go for latex. latex is a system to produce correctly set documents.
You can tweak the output by providing a your specific latex preamble
and in worst cases you have to change the text

i do not think roff is easier or better, although roff is smaller and
faster.

all the best
