	I don't think you can put page breaks in any kind of HTML
documents. You can break the documents into smaller documents and use each
document as a "page." You have to remember that XSLT converts the original
XML text into something else. I usually put my CSS in the HTML templates
that convert the XML into HTML. If you want to take a look, see

	Again, that's not what XSL was designed for. You use XSL to
separate the content from the style. There's one document that has your
content marked up as XML and you have another content that has the format
of the XML document that you want to style/conver/choose your own
description of what XSL does. I think you could use EcmaScript/JavaScript
to do that.
