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.

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

• Add top for the line to be above label
• Add left for the label to be in the left margin, and no break in the text (recommended for continuous text)
• 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. The prefix is omitted by default for a left-floated break. 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

Example 4 - Left label

For left-floated labels, you will need to introduce a margin. The class "indented-page" can do this.

However, do not use this class when transcluding pages from mainspace; a margin will be automatically applied by global javascript in this case.

Wiki text

<div class=indented-page>
and so the moral of this story is, when you
{{page break|17|left}}
ain't got rhythm, you should get out of the kitchen.
</div>

Result

and so the moral of this story is, when you ain't got rhythm, you should get out of the kitchen.
