[Tex/LaTex] Command and following content on the same page

samepage

I have a few commands which must be on the same page as following content. My LaTeX code is generated so I can't fix each problem manually.

Imagine situation with this code

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\newcommand{\heading}{
    \noindent \textbf{heading}\\
}

\begin{document}

    %% ONLY FOR EXAMPLE 
    some text
    \vspace{185mm}



    \heading

    \lipsum[1]

\end{document}

which results to this output

How can I ensure that the heading will be always on the same page as following content? Thanks

The needspace package is useful here. \needspace{1in}\section{} will only put the section header on the page if an inch is left on the page. Otherwise, it will move it to the next page.

Note I modified the OP's \heading macro to use \section* with an argument.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{needspace}
\newcommand{\heading}[1]{
  \needspace{1in}\section*{#1}
}

\begin{document}

    %% ONLY FOR EXAMPLE 
    some text
    \vspace{185mm}


    \heading{Heading}

    \lipsum[1]

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Keep item and includegraphics or figure on same page

You need not have \includegraphics within a figure environment. In particular, if you want to place images inline within the text, you might as well use the center environment:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\section{Section Name}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Directions go here
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=4cm]{example-image-a}
  \end{center}
\item Next step in directions.
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=4cm]{example-image-b}
  \end{center}
\item Step three.
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=4cm]{example-image-c}
  \end{center}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Note that this, on its own, simply makes it easier to place the images but it does not prevent a page breaks between the text and the center environment. If you really want to force them being together, there are two options: either use the samepage environment, or define a new \par that prevents a page break (taken from this answer). Both are illustrated below:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\makeatletter 
\newcommand\nobreakpar{\par\nobreak\@afterheading} 
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\section{Section Name}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Directions go here   % This allows a page break
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=6cm]{example-image-a}
  \end{center}
\item Next step in directions. \nobreakpar % No page break here
  \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=6cm]{example-image-b}
  \end{center}
\item
  \begin{samepage}  % No page break anywhere inside this environment
    Step three.
    \begin{center}
      \includegraphics[height=6cm]{example-image-c}
    \end{center}
  \end{samepage}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Start new chapter on same page in two sided report class document

You have to remove the \clearpages from the \chapter macro. The answer is basically the same as in the link you posted, except for one detail.

You are loading titlesec, and apparently it expects that you enter the \chapter macro in "vertical mode", that is, after a paragraph. The \clearpage does that by default, but since you want to remove it, you have to manually insert a \paragraph break before \chapter.

TL;DR

Put this in your preamble and you're good to go :)

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\chapter
  {\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi}
  {\par}% Inserting a \par here!
  {}{}
\makeatother
