It would be nice if the same sort of thing could be done for tables and a few
other structures.

Excellent stuff Paul! Thank you very much.
Just a minor remark about widows: I see that you implemented this feature by
moving the whole paragraph to the next page when it would otherwise break and
leave less then X lines on the second page. This is OK, but a possible
improvement would be to break the paragraph a bit higher so that some empty
lines are left on the first page and X lines on the second page. Less valuable
space is wasted this way. But again, this is an optimalisation. In fact
implementing it would not be straightforward (it would require substantial
changes in transcriber.c).
Thanks,
Bert
