How to prevent line breaks with "codeblock"?

How do I prevent a line break within a codeblock paragraph in my PDF?

I was searching for an equivalent to Word's "Keep lines together" option, but I can't find one.

Hello,

You should be able to do the trick by using the following CSS selector:

Code: Select all

*[class~='pr-d/codeblock'] {
    page-break-inside:avoid;
}
Regards,
Julien

Thanks for the info. Now I'm having a difficult time trying to identify which ".css" file to add this code snippet.

Is there a default .css that Oxygen uses for PDF? Or do I need to create a new custom .css for PDF?

To get started, you can create a my.css file in the root of your project directory with only that property.

If you're using the default "DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS" transformation, make a duplicate of it so you can edit the settings.

Now set the args.css parameter to ${pdu}/my.css:
