What is the best way to do page breaks in dompdf?
I have had a look here at the page-break-before css attribute, but it didn't work when I did:
table {page-break-before:auto;}
The page still breaks in the middle of my table.
Is it possible to setup my html/css so that the page will break before the element if the element is going to exceed the page height?
Ideally I would like to divide my html up in to div sections so that each section will start on a new page if it is going to exceed the height of the current page.
Using page-break-inside: auto;
basically says to dompdf "do what you would normally do when breaking pages."
To force a page break before / after your table you would use page-break-before: always;
/ page-break-after: always;
.
To ask dompdf to avoid breaking inside an element you would use page-break-inside: avoid;
.
You might make quick tests with this online debugger - i finally found my pagebreak and margin issue after days of testing.
Excursus: Did anyone install a debug environment on the development/production environment and can point me to any documentation or tutorial?
Here's a trick: place the <table>
you do NOT want to print across multiple pages in another <table>
.
In my case it was happened since I have used a table inside another table.
Like,
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table></table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
So I did was getting the table out. Solved my issue.
