The next question is: where to apply it? Setting it as part of the styling for normal paragraphs would probably be best for most books. Alternatively, you could apply it to body elements and everything else will inherit it.

All I know is, I've been reading a series of urban supernatural fiction (think Harry Desden, but not..) and it's annoying the holy s**t out of me. I'm reading on my go-to, a Voyage, and every other damned page is short. SHORT, not merely "oh, that last widow or orphan is doing X." It's incredibly,
incredibly annoying. It's not moving ONE damn line, it's moving paragraphs and it's starting to
literally (not using that word like some tween teenybopper) make me
grind my teeth when reading, which, obviously, is not really the desired result.
I'm sorry, oh-widow-and-orphan obsessives, but the widows and orphans were invisible. This crap is NOT.
