In the view of <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - ClearDirectFormatting does not remove page break" href="show_bug.cgi?id=138628#c42">bug 138628 comment 42</a>, I assume this to be an enhancement request for introduction of a page-break-as-separate-object concept (?) Page-break-as-separate-object could have at least one real advantage: in case when one wants to insert a page break in the middle of a paragraph, without actually breaking the paragraph into two. This use case is similar to the use of line break character, when one is not satisfied with automatic line breaking, and wants to force the line break in a specific place without breaking the paragraph. Currently the same is not possible for page breaks, and manual page break requires a new paragraph, with implications for formatting (think of first paragraph line indent), search-and-replace (it doesn't work natively across paragraphs), and so on. However, in this case that hypothetical page-break object (character) should only break pages, and have no properties related to page formatting by its own. So it must only substitute the automatically inserted page break, and must not alter the automatically assigned page style. In any case, it is not a replacement for the current page-break-as-paragraph-property concept, which has huge advantage when used together with paragraph styles, allowing to produce automatic and consistent page breaks and styling depending on document structure. Being a paragraph property has also a drawback that it requires user to realize this to avoid surprises (that seem to be the reason for filing this?), but that's normal with any advanced concept.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
