apply forced page breaks on level 2 or 3 topics using css

[dpksaini89]

Hi,

I wish to apply forced page breaks, whenever required for level 2 and 3 topics or any other topic so that the content looks properly formatted in the pdf output.

The earlier sources available in the forum have customized xsl. But i wish to do it using either css or built in attributes.

Is that possible? If yes, please share how to customize my custom.css to achieve this.

.

Here in the attached image, I wish to start para 3.8 (level 2 heading) from new page.

Hi dpksaini89,

It is indeed possible to start specific topics on a new page in PDF.
For that, you should use the DITA Map PDF WYSIWYG transformation scenario and set the correct "page-break" @outputclass attribute on specific topics.
For example, if you have a topic that want to start on a new page, you could set the "outputclass="page-break-before" on the root of that topic.

Code: Select all

Ex.: <topic outputclass="page-break-before">

In a similar way you could break page after or avoid page breaks at all for specific topics.

More information available on this page from the User-Guide.

Costin
