Controlling the print style-sheets [CSS]

There are some very useful CSS2 features which allow the authors to get control on how the pages are printed.

<h3>Avoid the page breaks just after headings</h3>

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { page-break-after : avoid }

page-break-after properties accept the auto, always, avoid, left, and right keywords.

The keyword auto is the default, it lets the browser generate page breaks as needed. The keyword always forces a page break before or after the element, while avoid suppresses a page break immediately before or after the element. The left and right keywords force one or two page breaks, so that the element is rendered on a left-hand or right-hand page.

<h3>Prevent just a line of the paragraph from moving onto next page</h3>

@page {
    orphans:4;
    widows:2;
}

The orphans property specifies the minimum number of lines of a paragraph that must be left at the bottom of a page.

The widows property specifies the minimum number of lines of a paragraph that must be left at the top of a page.
