  <h1>Balanced column breaks</h1>
  <div class="story">
    <p>orphans keeps enough lines at the bottom of a column. widows keeps enough lines at the top of the next column.</p>
    <p>Together they reduce lonely single lines on both sides of a break, which makes long-form reading feel more polished.</p>
    <p>Use both properties in magazines, documentation, and printable articles where typography quality matters.</p>
