Page break before h2 question

Amalthia · 04-16-2009, 08:08 PM

Do I need to add the force-page-break-before-attr <h2> in the css override box?

Basically, I've tried this before but I never could get it to break before the attribute and so far I've been adding <P style="page-break-after:always"> </P> after each chapter in order to force a page break for the new chapter. i'd really like the heading to start on a fresh page but I'd like to not have to add <P style="page-break-after:always"> </P> 30 times to an html document if I don't have to.

If I do use force-page-break-before-attr in the css override how exactly do I type it in as well as the <h2> tag?

I'd really appreciate any and all help on this.

thanks
Amalthia

to force page breaks before tags use --force-page-break-before-tag rather than --force-page-break-before-attr

Or just set --override-css to

Code:

h2 {page-break-before: always}

Okay, I'll give that a try.

It sounds like it should work but if I run into any problems I'll respond back here.

Thanks!

P.S. Is this code valid?

h2 { text-align: center; page-break-before: always;}

ARG! Could someone fix the <h2> in the title? The board spy is going crazy ...

@Amalthia: Yes, it should be.
