\section{Documentation}

This packages two commands, \cs{needspace} and \cs{Needspace}, for reserving
space to keep a certain amount of material from being split over a page break.
If there is not enough space, a \verb|\newpage| is automatically inserted.

The \cs{needspace}\meta{length} macro reserves an \emph{approximate}
amount of space \meta{length} for the material following to be kept on
the same page. The accuracy of its calculations depend on what
penalties are in effect, but is efficient and normally adequate. A
short page will be ragged bottom even if \cs{flushbottom} is in
effect.

\cs{Needspace}\marg{length} is less efficient but reserves the
requested space \meta{length} exactly. It should only be used between
paragraphs. Short pages that are produced by \cs{Needspace} will be
ragged bottom but short pages produced by \cs{Needspace*}\marg{length}
will be flush bottom if \cs{flushbottom} is in effect.

\section{Examples}

Here, we request that we need next five lines on a single page/column:
\begin{verbatim}
... previous text.

\needspace{5\baselineskip}
The next five lines ...
\end{verbatim}

\newpage
\noindent
In this case, the space is reserved more accurately:
\begin{verbatim}
... previous text.

\Needspace*{4\baselineskip}
   The major principles are:
\begin{itemize}
\item ...
\end{verbatim}
