I really like my the first line of the first paragraphs in chapter/section to have "font-variant: small-caps" using first-line pseudo element, I also like to have page breaks before subheadings/section titles when they occur in the middle of a chapter.

My dilemma is this: I understand kepubs do not support page breaks, and epubs do, but one thing I have not been able to figure out is if epubs support the pseudo element first-line. I know for sure kepubs do, as I've had that working for a while, but I haven't been able to get first-line working on epubs..... Is there a way to get this to work?

edit to add in case it matters, these are all epub3s....

On epub3 first-line pseudo elements is honored. On Kobo for Android and iOS, works for both, epub and kepub. But I don't know if the rendering engine of your Kobo Sage have been updated with the last version.

Regarding page breaks, use the following code:

.pageBreak {
   -webkit-column-break-before: always;
   page-break-before: always;
   break-before: always;
}
