CSS - page-break-after



The page-break-after property indicates whether (and how many) page breaks should be allowed after 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 value of page-break-before for a following element, and the value of page-break-inside for any ancestor elements.

Possible Values

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

  • always − A page break should be forced after this element's box.

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

  • left − Force one or two page breaks after the element's box, such that the next page on which an element is printed will be a left-hand page.

  • right − Force one or two page breaks after the element's box, such that the next page on which an element is printed will be a right-hand page.

Applies to

All the block level elements.

Example

Here is the example −

<html>
   <head> 
   
      <style type = "text/css">
         p {page-break-after: always;}
      </style>
   </head>

   <body>

         Android is an open source and Linux-based Operating System for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and other companies.
         Android offers a unified approach to application development for mobile devices which means developers need only develop for Android, and their applications should be able to run on different devices powered by Android.
         The first beta version of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) was released by Google in 2007 where as the first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008.
         On June 27, 2012, at the Google I/O conference, Google announced the next Android version, 4.1 Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean is an incremental update, with the primary aim of improving the user interface, both in terms of functionality and performance.
         The source code for Android is available under free and open source software licenses. Google publishes most of the code under the Apache License version 2.0 and the rest, Linux kernel changes, under the GNU General Public License version 2
