The problem happens in a case where there are no paragraph split between
2 pages. All pars are entirely either in page 1 or page 2 (these numbers
are not actual page numbers, but it’s for clarity).
I am trying to create a MWE but it’s not trivial. The situation as far
as I understand it is like the following :
I’ve added tracers for vspacing.synchronizepage function.
When page 1 ships, there are 2 paragraphs (1 + 3 lines) still pending
because they do not fit in page 1 so they will be shipped in page 2 (I
think that what is in texlists.page_head variable). Hence tex.prevgraf
which was 0 is set to 4 (see this from traces in output log).
what do you mean with pending ... tex doesn't look ahead, only back
you probably need to look at the delta of pagegoal - pagetotal and evide
that by the line height .. probably good enough for text without whitespace
even then, hyphenation penalties can make a page one or more lines
shorter so you also need to disable some of that
vspacing > page 4, prevdepth 2.56577pt => 2.56577pt, prevgraf 0 => 4
vspacing > list glue:topskip hlist:line penalty:userpenalty
penalty:userpenalty glue:baselineskip hlist:line
penalty:linebreakpenalty glue:baselineskip hlist:line
penalty:linebreakpenalty glue:baselineskip hlist:line glue:userskip
Next paragraph after the 2 pending pars I refer to above has a non zero
\hangindent and \hangafter (set to -1) and when it starts being
processed (in horizontal mode) prevgraf is already 4 so I think this
cancels out that hanging (that’s the effect I see in output, there is no
indent in 1st line of 3rd par), as IIRC TEX considers par has already 4
lines but in actuality it has 0. If I read correctly the TeXBook,
prevgraf value has some impact on \hangafter / \hangindent
you never really know what you look at: tex collects stuff and triggers
the output routine when it thinks it makes sense
in context there is also the rather complex vertical spacing mechanism
that needs to look back and forward while looking back can interfere
with page breaks (and/or retrying)
these mechanisms evolved over time and are still nto perfect
The value of \prevgraf affects line breaking only when TEX
is dealing with nonstandard \parshape or \hangindent.
no, it's independent ... just th enumber of lines (hboxes) that make a
paragraph after it's broken into lines
hangindent/after/parshape don't look at real dimensions, they only count
lines
this is why a side float mechanism is so complex ... lots of border
cases and trickery around page breaks (because not only the size of what
goes side is important but also the preceding and following space, the
height and depth of lines etc

you cannot rely on prevgraf crossing pages (so you get e.g. 8 at the top
of a page with 5 lines
where/how does it fail
