How does `page-break-before` CSS property work?

Question

According to DOMPDF's FAQ, you can use page-break-before and the similar to force page breaks.

I had to lay out my page with tables, as DOMPDF does not support floats.

On a <tr> element, I have placed style="page-break-before: always" but the generated PDF doesn't seem to follow this rule.

Is it because I have placed it on a tr element, and not a traditional block element?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I ended up solving it by

• closing the table I was in
• adding a <div style="page-break-before: always;"></div>
• reopening the table
