Markdown Page Break for PDF Export
Updated: July 1, 2026
Topic: PDF Page Breaks
Standard Markdown does not include a universal page-break syntax because Markdown was originally designed for web text. When exporting Markdown to PDF, you can still control page boundaries with a small HTML helper.
Page Break Syntax
Add this line wherever you want the next section to begin on a new PDF page:
<div class="page-break"></div>
When to Use Page Breaks
- Before a new resume section that should start cleanly.
- Between report chapters or appendices.
- Before a table that needs more room.
- After a title page or cover page.
Preview Before Exporting
Page breaks depend on paper size, margins, font size, and browser print settings. After adding a break, check the preview and export a quick test PDF to confirm the final layout.
