code to achieve page breaks when printing ?

Hi,

The visitors of my site to 99% live in countries where A4 is the standard paper size. Can I code my webpages so that they print nicely on A4, so that paragraphs are not broken up between printed pages?

A workaround would be to offer a printable PDF, but I would like to avoid that if possible,

Thanks!

If you want to set page breaks (I don't think you can specify paper size to use with breaks, but you can just set general page breaks) then check this out:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_ref_print.asp
and this one in particular:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_print_pagebb.asp

Here is one example:p
{
page-break-before: always;
}


If you leave that as "always" then it will page break in the printing even if not necessary, but if you leave it as "auto" then it should allow a page break right before the element when needed (in other words, I believe it should work with any page size if it is ever needed to start a paragraph on a new page if it would wrap to a second one).

Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks a lot!

That seems to be exactly what I am after.

Cheers!
