The page-break-after
CSS property adjusts page breaks after the current element.
/* Keyword values */ page-break-after: auto; page-break-after: always; page-break-after: avoid; page-break-after: left; page-break-after: right; page-break-after: recto; page-break-after: verso; /* Global values */ page-break-after: inherit; page-break-after: initial; page-break-after: unset;
This property applies to block elements that generate a box. It won't apply on an empty <div>
that won't generate a box.
Note: this property is in progress of being replaced by the more generic break-after
. This new property also handles column and region breaks and is syntactically compatible with page-break-after
.
Before using page-break-after
, check if you can use break-after
instead. In the future page-break-after
will be a mere alias for some values of it.
