PageBreakWithin

PageBreakWithin

is an option for Cell which specifies whether a page break should be allowed within the cell if the notebook that contains the cell is printed.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Create a notebook in which page breaks are not allowed to split cells:

Wolfram Language code: nb = CreateDocument[Table[TextCell[Row[Riffle[Range[100n + 1, 100n + 30], " "]], "Text", PageBreakWithin -> False], {n, 0, 4}], ShowPageBreaks -> True];

Select the second cell and set PageBreakWithin to True:

Wolfram Language code: SelectionMove[nb, Next, Cell, 2]
Wolfram Language code: SetOptions[NotebookSelection[nb], PageBreakWithin -> True]

Now a page break will occur within the cell, as shown by the mark on the cell bracket:
