If you just load a HTML document, it'll be loaded into Writer/Web, which
has no page breaks.

If you force loading into plain Writer like this:

--infilter="HTML (StarWriter)"

then you can use a markup like:

<p style="page-break-before: always">
first paragraph on the next page
</p>

to have a page break before a paragraph.

Are you looking at improving something in the Writer HTML filter? This
is the dev list after all. ;-)

Regards,

Miklos
