# How To: Create Multi-Page Documents with Page Breaks

Use page break styling when document sections must start or stay together on specific pages.

### Problem

You need to control where page breaks occur in your generated documents.

### Solution 1: CSS Page Break

**Force a page break after a section:**

```
<div style="page-break-after: always;">
  <h1>Page 1 Content</h1>
  <p>This content appears on page 1.</p>
</div>

<div>
  <h1>Page 2 Content</h1>
  <p>This content appears on page 2.</p>
</div>
```

**Avoid a page break inside an element:**

```
<div style="page-break-inside: avoid;">
  <h2>Keep Together</h2>
  <p>This entire section stays on one page.</p>
  <ul>
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
  </ul>
</div>
```

### Solution 2: Table Row Page Breaks

**Keep table rows together:**

```
<style>
  tr {
    page-break-inside: avoid;
  }
</style>

<table>
<!--{{!
<lineitems>
<listname>opportunitylineitems</listname>
<column>PricebookEntry.Product2.name</column>
<column>Description</column>
</lineitems>
}}-->
</table>
```

### Solution 3: Conditional Page Breaks

**Break before certain categories:**

```
<!--{{!
<lineitemsSOQL>
<soql>SELECT Name, Category__c FROM Product2 WHERE Id IN (SELECT Product2Id FROM OpportunityLineItem WHERE OpportunityId = '{{!Opportunity.Id}}')</soql>
<column type="rtf" render="RECORD.Category__c == 'Services',lt#div style='page-break-before: always;'gt#lt#h2gt#Services Productslt#/h2gt#lt#/divgt#RECORD.Name,RECORD.Name"></column>
</lineitemsSOQL>
}}-->
```

### Tips

* `page-break-after: always` forces a break after the element.
* `page-break-before: always` forces a break before the element.
* `page-break-inside: avoid` keeps the element together.
* This works best in PDF output.
* Test with real content lengths before release.
