[REBOL] Re: page-breaks in html or pdf?

From: AJMartin:orcon at: 24-Dec-2003 22:50


I have my scripts insert this HTML (using CSS):

        <br style="page-break-after: always" />

It's placed at the start of each "page" after the first "page", using a
Rebol script fragment like:
        First_Page?: true
        ;...
        ; Inside page creation loop:
        either First_Page? [
            First_Page?: none
            ] [
            <br style="page-break-after: always" />
            ]

I also make sure that I use this tag:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
        "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xhtml-math-svg/xhtml-math-svg.dtd">

for each page, to make sure the MS IE switches into the right mode. If it's
not present, MS IE 6 interprets HTML and CSS as if it were an older browser
complete with bugs!

I also have two different media sections in my .css stylesheet, like:

@media screen {
 body {
  background: url(Wiki.jpg) #FFFFFC repeat-y fixed;
  color: #000000;
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  }
 .Left-Column {
  position: absolute;
  }
...
}

and

@media print {
 .Left-Column {
  display: none;
  }
...
}

I hope that helps!
