Custom page height? #28

Closed astronomyk closed 3 years ago

Hi!

Thanks for the package, I've so far found it very useful for several projects!

Alas I currently have the problem that I need to deliver some notebooks as PDFs but client requires there to be A4-size page breaks. I quickly found this line, which I assume controls when a page break is inserted (i.e. for the 200 inch Adobe limit).

I've cloned the repo, changed height to 11.7 * 72 (for A4 standard) and reinstalled the package from my local copy. Unfortunately I still only get single page PDFs. Is this the right place to be changing the page height limit? Or should I look somewhere else?

Many thanks for your time! Kieran

(P.S. my deadline is Sunday 11th of April, so any help before then would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!)

Yes that is the place where we set the height/control the page size. Without seeing your code I have no good idea why setting it doesn't work :-/

Thanks again for fixing the nbconvert 6+ issue. Everything works as expected now, so this issue is obsolete.

P.S. I appreciate the sentiment regarding having a continuous page for notebooks (I prefer it too), but it might be useful for others in the future to have the option of setting their own page length limits. Cheers!
