    You can shorten this to:


    = $minWords)
    ? ' ' . array_pop($output)
    : ' ' . array_pop($output);
    $output = implode(' ',$output) . $widow;
    return $output;
    }
    ?>

    Is there any update to the css selectors for this fix to be 100% css solution? I have bugged W3c for ages about this — “Ah yes that’s a good idea” — and then they don’t add it to spec.
