Aura {A1} Prevent tables and sentences cut off?

[pluma]

hallo,

Does anybody know how to force a block of text or a table to be displayed from its first line into a new page?

Some times I don't care whether a part of the text is being broken and displayed on a new page.

What I do care is whether a certain paragraph, table or picture starts on a new page from the beginning.

Is there a way to do this?

danke!!

Not sure if this works on a Kobo ereader but have you tried using the CSS page-break-before property to force a new page?

Thanks for the quick response, but would you care to elaborate how to use it? I am really desparate with this as I've got everything broken.

Where should I place the 'page-break-before' inside a <p>, <span>, <div>, <table>, combination of <br \>, ...???

I'd appreciate some examples.

danke!!

It is a CSS style attribute. You need to apply it to the tag of interest. I would create a style and put it on the tags of interest. So, in the stylesheet:

.page_break {page-break-before: always;}

And in the code:

<p class="page_break">This might be on a new page.</p>

But, I have no idea whether either of the book renderers on the Kobo respect this. I usually strip these out.

The ePub reader obeys page-break-before:always, the KePub reader ignores it.

Another way to force a page break before the table, which will work on all readers, is to split the html file at the table so that the table starts at the beginning of a new file.
