Page break doesn't work with heading or empty line preceding

[bkaganovich]

The page break in PDF export or print preview doesn't work if the line before is a heading or empty line.

<!-- Required extensions: attr_list -->

First page

# Doesn't work here
{: style="page-break-before: always" }

{: style="page-break-before: always" }

Doesn't work here either

New page starts here
{: style="page-break-before: always" }

This solution works:

*<!-- -->*
{: style="page-break-before: always" }

For headers, you can put the attributes on the same line:

# Header Title {: style="page-break-before: always" }

With empty line, it indeed doesn't work, because you need something to attach the attribute too.

You can also use raw HTML if you really need an empty object:

<div style="page-break-before: always"></div>
