[XeTeX] horizontal alignment

[John Was]

Hello

I'm not a LaTeX user but I think the standard plain TeX commands mostly work 
in that environment.  Could you not try giving:

\begingroup
\interlinepenalty10000

STUFF YOU WANT TO KEEP ON SAME PAGE

\endgroup

?

TeX should then never split the material within the group.

I haven't had the time to try all other suggestions yet, but this one seems 
to
me a very good point. I used to use minipages (around the three rows 
content)
because I wanted those 3 rows to be kept together in the same page or moved 
to
the next page as a whole if they didn't fit the current page. Then I 
extended
the use of minipage to \classeentry because I hoped to obtain the same
alignment as \dogentrytrerighe that way, but that last minipage use is 
nothing
I actually need, since it didn't solve the horizontal alignment problem.

Now, if you can tell me another way of keeping the three rows on the same
page, I'd be more than happy to drop minipages altogether. Maybe that will 
fix
also the horizontal alignment problem as a side effect.
