Template:Page break

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

To break up discontiguous runs of pages. For continuing text, use of <pages>, as per style is preferred.

This template also produces page-break markup that hints to e-book readers that there should be a page break at the given location.

If you do not want a break in the text, but you want to place a marker where the original text crosses a page, use {{pagenum}}.

Parameters

• 1 word to be used
• 2, positioning of the line and label:

• Add top for the line to be above label
• Leave blank or write bottom for the line to be below the label

• label, prefixing word, default word is page, or label= to have no prefix. Note that label can also be used for non-standard alternate labelling of page separation.

Formatting options

• border-width, default is 1 px
• border-style, default is dashed
• border-color, default is #999999

Examples
