Hi,

If I understand your scenario correctly, you need to precisely position HTML content in a web editor and later print it. Unfortunately, when dealing with a web environment, browsers have their limitations and it is hard to print HTML content exactly as you see it on the screen.

In addition, you cannot automatically divide the content in the editor to different pages. Searching for <p> breaks gives the most natural break, but those breaks might occur on an undesired location. That is why the only reliable way to break the page is by manual inserting a page break style. The style='page-break-before: always' will tell the printer that this is the end of the current page and will print the subsequent content on a new page. You can found more information the this KB article: Implementing a Page-break Button.

Best regards,
Rumen
