Page break doesn't work as expected in b649. If you have a topic with a line of text, e.g.:
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures.
and you want a page break right below it (so the next topic starts on top of the new page), when you insert the page break, it appears in H&M editing window, but it's ignored in PDF output. The only way to make it work is to insert any text below the page break mark, e.g. AAA, or a TAB:
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures.
(Explicit page break in print manual and pdf)
AAA
The trouble is that, of course, this text appears after the page break, on the next page, and all I want is just the page break! TAB itself produces an empty line before the topic, which is not good either

Page break - that's exactly the point
But, Alexander, that's exactly the point: I need to force next topic to start on a new page. How can I do it, except with the manual page break?
Please note that I don't want each topic of that level to be on a new page (I know I could use template for it). I want specific topic to start on a new page.
I tried to insert page break in the first line of the "next" topic, to no avail - it separated the topic title and the topic body.
I must admitt I don't see why page break should be ignored if it's the last in the text.
Regards,
Bruno

Re: Page break - that's exactly the point
Hi Bruno,
I have the same problem with build 651. Just a little workaround:
place a dot (".") under the pagebreak and format it as Arial, 4 pt. Set its color to light-gray (not white, it will be printed in black nevertheless).
The pagebreak will work, on the next page you may only suspect a little dot.
That's what I've done, and it works for me.
Greetings,
Pierre

That's a good idea. Here is another - completely invisible - workaround: insert a non-breaking space (character 255) after the page break: hold down the ALT key and type 2-5-5 on the numeric keyboard. Help & Manual interprets the non-breaking space as a valid character and does not truncate it.

Cool!! If that works it's great -- I love that kind of solution.iviinika wrote:I've solved this problem by inserting two page breaks whenever I want to force the next topic to start on a new page.
