Frank Mittelbach submitted the

                widows-and-orphans

package.

Version number: 1.0a
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Identify (typographic) widows and orphans

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


This package identifies all widows and orphans in a document to help a 
user to get rid of them. The act of resolving still needs
to be done manually: By rewriting text, running some paragraph long or 
short or or explicitly breaking in some strategic place.

It will also identify and warn about words broken across columns or pages 
and display formulas separated from their introductory
paragraph.

The initial idea was born way back in 2012 when somebody on stackexchange 
asked if it would be possible to [Find all widows and
orphans](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45528/finding-all-widows-and-orphans).

Package source can be found below:
