CSS - page-break-inside



The page-break-inside property indicates whether page breaks should be allowed within an element's box.

The value of this property is not the sole factor in determining whether a page break should follow the element. This decision will also be affected by the values of page-break-before and page-break-after for any descendant elements.

Possible Values

  • avoid − No page break should be placed inside the element's box if at all possible.

  • auto − Page breaks should be neither forced nor prevented inside the element's box.

Applies to

All the block level elements.

Example

Here is the example −

<html>
   <head>
      <style type = "text/css">
         .example {
            -webkit-columns: 150px;
            -moz-columns: 150px;
            columns: 150px;
            -webkit-column-gap: 2em;
            -moz-column-gap: 2em;
            column-gap: 2em;  
         }
         body {
            font-size: 12px;
            font-family: 'Georgia', serif;
            font-weight: 400;
