+% One way to avoid this inconvenience is to use \cs{ekdpb} instead of
+% the standard \cs{pabebreak} command provided by \LaTeX\ to insert
+% conditional page breaks. \cs{ekdpb} takes as mandatory argument an
+% integer that represents the line number where the page break should
+% take place. An optional argument allows to further specify the page
+% number where the page break should occur. The value that is expected
+% is the page number as it is printed\===e.g.\ an Arabic, Roman or
+% alphanumeric number. If the specified conditions are not met, then
+% the page break is not triggered.

 % layer of apparatus criticus may accept as described above

+% page breaks by specifying that the page break should occur only on a
