“Keep with next” not working reliably

[Johanna_M]

For the TopicHeadingX styles, the “Keep with next” option is enabled. Unfortunately, this does not always work in the output. Attached you will find an example.

I hope this is understandable, and thank you in advance for looking into this issue.
Kind regards

Hi Johanna,

This is a little strange. There must be some other factor preventing it in this case. As far as I can see there are no conditional IF / END tags in the way, and no large images creating an unbreakable block of text. Is it possible that the paragraph directly after the heading als has "Keep with next" activated? If not, I need to have a look at a small demo project. Please send a small, single-file HMXZ demo project with which you can reproduce this to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @). You can create this project as follows:

​1: Select Save As.. in the File menu and save the project in the single-file HMXZ format (first option, single file storage).
2: Delete any topics not needed for the demo.
3: Go to Configuration > Common Properties > Miscellaneous. Turn off "Automatically create history files" and delete the history in the project with the "Purge xx history files" button. Then save again.
4: Go to Project Files > Baggage Files and delete any files that are stored there, unless they are used in the affected topics.
​4: Perform a test to make sure you can still reproduce the issue with the demo project.​
​5​: Send us the resulting .hmxz file and the graphics files used in the demo ​topics.

The issue has been solved. It was a mismatch of style definitions for Screen and Print.

If someone is facing a similar issue, please use the [Screen/Print] button at the bottom of the main window, to quickly test the text formatting in screen and print mode.
