markdown doxygen

I am creating a pdf of markdown text file using doxygen (1.8.6). Now I want to get page break at specific stage in markdown file, I used this link.

In the given link they have mentioned to use '>' for line break. But they haven't mentioned about page break. Yes I can use '>' for page break as well but I have to write this symbol 5 or more times on markdown text file and that makes markdown file in weird look. Is there any other ways to get page breaks in markdown files?

Since Markdown accepts plain HTML and CSS, simply add this line wherever you want to force page break.

<div style="page-break-after: always;"></div>

If your Markdown editor have trouble exporting PDF correctly, first try to export as HTML, then open with your browser and print as PDF.
