The NEEDSPACE package ===================== Provides the \needspace and \Needspace macros for requesting a certain amount of space on the current page for the following material. INSTALLATION ------------ Run `pdflatex` on needspace.tex to produce the files needspace.ins and needspace.sty, as well as to compile the PDF documentation. Execute `tex needspace.ins` to produce the files above except needspace.ins itself (and the PDF file, obviously). CHANGE HISTORY -------------- * v1.3c (2010/09/12): Patch to improve behaviour with commands like `\section` that use `\addvspace`. See [this thread][ctt] on comp.text.tex.
