[help wanted] How to create a page break? #15

Closed aahnik closed 3 years ago

aahnik commented 4 years ago

When there is an h1 tag, a new chapter starts. And it always starts from a new page.

But there is certain stuff, which I want to start from a new page.

I read and tried multiple methods, like

  1. This stack overflow answer Pandoc EPUB Page Break
  2. This open issue in Pandoc Page-break in other output formats than LaTeX #1934

Different people have suggested different methods. But nothing seems to be working in markdown --> epub.

I want to create a new page, for certain pages, without using an h1 tag. That means I don't want to make it a chapter. Just a page.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @aahnik ! I'll try my best to help you.

I've tried to use the following HTML block on a simple MD chapter, and it does work on Okular viewer:

Paragraph before page break.

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

Paragraph after page break.

Perhaps your current ebook viewer does not handle those kind of blocks?

This technique may work in some epub readers.

But unfortunately did not work in the readers I use

It worked in okular as you said.

Is there any universal way ?
