How to avoid page break after a new section?

[21jfx552]

The following picture is from the example.

Is it possible to move the section title AUTOMATICALLY to the next page if there is only a single title?

Page breaks are a messy subject in latex; I'm certainly no expert.

I'd suggest trying \filbreak before the section headings though, which essentially gives it a weighting saying 'this is a good place to break', which will encourage but not enforce your desired behaviour.

I have a similar issue but in my case instead of moving the title to the next page, I'm wondering if there is a way to move several bullet points from the next page to the current page so there won't be too much blank at the bottom of the page. Here is a screenshot of my CV:

Thanks in advance!

I used longtable instead of tabular in the cls file, which improves the result a little bit: Now at least the title "Peer-reviewed publications" is on the current page instead of the next page. However, I'm still wondering if there is a way to move a few items to the current page so there is no extra blank on the current page.

\usepackage{longtable}
\newcommand*{\publicationlong}[2]{%
  \vspace{-3.0mm}   % -4.0mm: the whole title will c up
  \setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
  \setlength{\extrarowheight}{0pt}
  \begin{longtable}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} L{\textwidth - 4.5cm} R{4.5cm}}
    \entrypublicationstyle{#1} \\
    % \cvsubsection{#1} \\
    \multicolumn{2}{L{\textwidth}}{\descriptionstyle{#2}} \\
  \end{longtable}%
}

Here is a screenshot of what I currently have:

Okay, so I later gave up on using tables to format the list but simply used the cvenumerate command available in the original cls file. The code inserted in the cls file is as follows:

% Usage: \publicationlist{<class>}{<description>}
% This environment works better if the publication list is long, so the list can span multiple pages.
% The main difference is that this environment does not try to fit the list into tables but work with cvenumerate
% environment. (Note that replacing tabular with longtable or supertabular in \publication does not work.)
% The word spacing is not exactly the same as the one generated by \publication but looks fine.
\newcommand*{\publicationlist}[2]{%
  \vspace{4.0mm}
  \entrypublicationstyle{#1}
  \vspace{3.0mm}
  \descriptionstyle{#2}
}

Then, in the tex file, instead of having multiple entries of \publication in the environment \cventries, one can just use a series of \publicationlist. This solved the problem.

Could you share the complete code for publications? I have the same problem. Thanks in advance!

Hi, here is the code that used \publicationlist I have in my tex file:

\publicationlist

I'm using reversed numbering for publications enabled by cvenumerate_reverse I wrote in my cls file:

% An envrionment that is the same as cvenumerate but reverse the numbering
% This environment should look pretty close to cvenumerate above (except for the numbering).
\usepackage{etaremune}
\newenvironment{cvenumerate_reverse}{%
  \vspace{-4.0mm}
  \begin{justify}
  \begin{etaremune}[leftmargin=3.5ex]  % nosep, noitemsep didn't work
    \setlength{\itemsep}{0.5em}  % original: 0em
    \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
    \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\bullet}
}{%
  \end{etaremune}
  \end{justify}
  \vspace{-2.0mm}

Thank you a lot! I will have a try.
