Can I force a page break in HTML printing

Question

I m making a HTML report that is going to be printable  and it has  sections  that should start in a new page   Is there any way to put something in the HTML CSS that will signal to the browser that it needs to force a page break  start a new page  at that point   I don t need this to work in every browser out there  I think I can tell people to use a specific set of browsers in order to print this

Chris Doggett makes perfect sense  Although  I found one funny trick on lvsys com  and it actually works on firefox and chrome  Just put this comment anywhere you want the page-break to be inserted  You can also replace the  lt p gt  tag with any block element    lt p gt  lt  -- pagebreak -- gt  lt  p gt

You can use the CSS property page-break-before  or page-break-after   Just set page-break-before  always on those block-level elements  e g   heading  div  p  or table elements  that should start on a new line   For example  to cause a line break before any 2nd level heading and before any element in class newpage  e g    lt div class newpage gt       you would use  h2   newpage   page-break-before  always

We can add a page break tag with style  page-break-after  always  at the point where we want to introduce the pagebreak in the   html page      page-break-before  also works      Example   HTML BLOCK 1  lt p style  page-break-after  always  gt  lt  p gt  HTML BLOCK 2  lt p style  page-break-after  always  gt  lt  p gt  HTML BLOCK 3   While printing the html file with the above code  the print preview will show three pages  one for each html block  HTML BLOCK n    where as in the browser all the three blocks appear sequentially one after the other

Let s say you have a blog with articles like this    lt div class  article  gt       lt  div gt    Just adding this to the CSS worked for me    media print      article   page-break-after  always         tested and working on Chrome 69 and Firefox 62    Reference     https   www w3schools com cssref pr print pageba asp https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web CSS page-break-after   important note  here it s said This property has been replaced by the break-after property  but it didn t work for me with break-after  Also the MDN doc about break-after doesn t seem to be specific for page-breaks  so I prefer keeping the  working  page-break-after  always

I was struggling this for some time  it never worked  In the end  the solution was to put a style element in the head  The page-break-after can t be in a linked CSS file  it must be in the HTML itself

Add a CSS class called  pagebreak   or  pb    like so    media print        pagebreak   page-break-before  always       page-break-after works  as well        Then add an empty DIV tag  or any block element that generates a box  where you want the page break    lt div class  pagebreak  gt   lt  div gt    It won t show up on the page  but will break up the page when printing   P S  Perhaps this only applies when using -after  and also what else you might be doing with other  lt div gt s on the page   but I found that I had to augment the CSS class as follows    media print        pagebreak           clear  both          page-break-after  always
