This property specifies that a page-break should precede the element. The values always
and
auto
provide for either a forced page-break, or a page-break determined by Reader for best
results in all conditions. Specify page-breaks whenever practical to improve performance of Reader and to
reduce load times between sections of content within a book.
Note: Page breaks serve as reference points for the Reader pagination engine. Authoring an eBook without page breaks decreases performance and increases the time required to load a book from the Library; authoring an eBook with frequent page breaks (at the start of every chapter or section) improves load time and performance, especially on smaller devices with less memory and less processor power.
Note: The use of the values left and right is preferred for page-break-before
property because it enables correct pagination in future, 2-page versions of Microsoft Reader.
Page-break-before:left
forces one or two page breaks so that the following content
begins on a left-hand page. Page-break-before: right
forces one or two page breaks so that the
following content begins on a right-hand page. These choices are functionally equivalent to the value
always
in single page implementations of Reader.
