I'm using the expex package for glossing exemples, and I have this giant example which doesn't want to break when the page ends. In the user's guide they say it should break automatcally but it doesn't. So it's not a problem in most of my examples (so far), but this one leaves almost a third of page empty, and I want it to split across pages

I tried to use \eject or \vfil\eject, but it doesn't work.

Does someone know a solution? 

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{expex}
\begin{document}
\ex

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Can you complete the code snippet with the relevant packages? – egreg Jul 13 '15 at 15:15
  • @egreg, done! :) – Justyna Bernat Jul 13 '15 at 16:10
  • As I understand it, ExPex will only break up subexamples (a,b,c); it will not break up glosses (and probably shouldn't). So I think what you should really do is insert manual breaks when needed at the very final stages of your document, and never break apart glosses. – Alan Munn Jul 14 '15 at 22:32
  • Yes, I want to be able to break it manually, and therefore I'm looking for a solution here. I've been trying different commands but it just doesn't work. The question is : what can I put in this environement to enable the exemple to spli? after the preamble, or before the translation, as you said, the glosses shoudn't be appart. – Justyna Bernat Jul 15 '15 at 06:57

I believe expex now supports page breaking of glosses with the \glbreaking command. If it doesn't, contact John and he'll give you the file you need to implement the command.
