Description
[edit | edit source]`\penalty` sets the penalty for a line or page break at that point.
Some penalties are built in to the TeX system and inserted automatically:
- `\binoppenalty` for a line break in math mode after a binary operator.
- `\brokenpenalty` for a page break, where the last line of the previous page contains a hyphenation.
- `\clubpenalty` for a broken page, with a single line of a paragraph remaining on the bottom of the preceding page.
- `\displaywidowpenalty` for a break before last line of a paragraph.
- `\exhyphenpenalty` for hyphenating a word which already contains a hyphen.
- `\floatingpenalty` for splitting an insertion.
- `\hyphenpenalty` for line breaking at an automatically inserted hyphen.
- `\interlinepenalty` for the penalty added after each line of a paragraph.
- `\linepenalty` the badness of each line within a paragraph.
- `\postdisplaypenalty` for a break after a display.
- `\predisplaypenalty` for a break before a display.
- `\relpenalty` for a line break at a relation.
- `\widowpenalty` for a broken page, with a single line of a paragraph (called "widow") remaining on the top of the succeeding page.
