Rails: WickedPDF: Page Breaks

Question

In my Ruby (1.9.2) Rails (3.0.x) I would like to render a web page as PDF using wicked_pdf, and I would like to control where the page breaks are. My CSS code to control page breaks is as follows:

<style>
  @media print
  {
    h1 {page-break-before:always}
  }
</style>

However, when I render the page with wicked_pdf, it does not separate the document into two pages. Is there something else that I must do to get page breaks with wicked_pdf?

Answer 1

For some reason, the "@media print" didn't quite do it. I just went with

.page-break { display:block; clear:both; page-break-after:always; }

for the CSS rule, and then I stuck the following in my page for a page break:

<div class="page-break"></div>

That just worked.
