Html --> Word with page breaks

[vineshghela]

Hey Everyone ive got a html file and i want to convert it to word for the most part it is working. However i want to add page break e.g. cover sheet followed by table of contents and then the contents of the file. Ive been searching through forums and I seem seem to be hitting a brick wall.

I was wondering if you were able to help

i have tried the following

the css for the class new-page is the same as page-break-before: always;

<h1> First page</h1>
  <div class="new-page"></div> 
        <w:br w:type="page"/>
   <div style="page-break-before: always;"></div>
<h1> Contents</h1>

It's not possible to include OpenXML elements in HTML and have pandoc recognize them as such.
Your best bet is to use a regular HTML element, such as your <div class="new-page"></div>, which will be parsed as a pandoc Div. Then use a Lua filter to replace this Div with some suitable OpenXML code when FORMAT is docx.

The OpenXML sytax was when i just got tired of hitting the brick wall :(

Thank you so much for the advice ill take a look into it!

Try the latest version of the pagebreak filter and configure it with these settings

---
pagebreak:
  break-on:
    # Allow plaintext commands, i.e., respect LaTeX newpage
    # commands even if they are not in a raw TeX block.
    plaintext-command: true
---

Then use <p>\newpage</p> in your HTML.
