# Sometimes free flowing text might look ugly, specially when a paragraph is
# split between two pages. Using a positioned text box just to overcome this
# nuisance is not the right choice.
#
# You probably want to use the <code>group</code> method instead. It will try
# to render the block within the current page. If the content would fall to a
# new page it just renders everything on the following page. If the block cannot
# be executed on a single blank page a <code>CannotGroup</code> exception will
# be raised.
#
# So if you can split your text blocks in paragraphs you can have every
# paragraph contained on a single page.
