However, in this example, \opt{flextended} is active, and I can write to these lines. The contents of the \env{priorworkarea} environment can also break across a page boundary. We'll try to make it so.\vspace{2\baselineskip} Are we on the next page? I think yes. \end{priorworkarea} \begin{solution}[nLines=10] Your guess is as good as mine. The content has the capability of breaking across pages. I've added more lines because this problem has a chance breaking across a page boundary. Let's prattle on until we go to the next page.\vspace{\baselineskip} We'll jump down a couple of lines cause I don't have much to say. Gotta keep going to get to the next page. If all works as it should, I'll see you one the other side! Perfect! \vspace{3\baselineskip} \noindent All in all, this is very cool.\enspace dps \end{solution} \end{problem} \end{exam} \end{document}
