MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - ebook-convert (docx->html) inserting too many page breaks

Exactly, I am seeing this behaviour, but I would not have expected to have a page break when inserting a section break.
Anyway, if I understand it correctly you are not considering the docx XML tags but (somehow) the rendered output, right? if so, I will definitely have to look for another workaround as section breaks are rendered exactly as page breaks, they are just treated with another XML tag and have some other properties.

Out of curiosity, is calibre using its own rendering engine? getting the right pagination is one of the things that keep me awake at night and being able to access this step would be wonderful.

Thanks.
