Hello!

I'm reading a book which is mostly short-form poetry and I'd like each poem to start on a new page. (I'm on a Kobo Aura One with Calibre 3.48 as my Mac is running on High Sierra.)

I've tried adding the following piece of code:

Code:

page-break-before: always;

at the following position:

Code:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
	page-break-before: always;
	font-weight: normal;
	font-style: normal;
	text-align: left;
	page-break-after: avoid;
}

I'm not getting any change when I load the ebook back on the Kobo. Is it a coding problem or an upload issue? (Also, I'd probably need it only for h4-5-6 or something like that, though I'm not sure how to know exactly.)

Thank you!

Perhaps not the answer you want but the sure fire way of ensuring a page break is to put each thing in its own file; chapter, poem, etc.

Page breaks do not work in KePub. Page breaks work in ePub.

Thanks @JSWolf, I read that and it is absolutely key!
