# A short summary about the project.
Page breaks is one of the common typographical settings people do use.
- In LaTeX, this is easy to achieve simply putting =\clearpage=
- However, in exports like odt, the page break may be tricky and involve direct
xml - not great

Macías [ML:Org mode] (2022) Explicit page breaks (was: Create in Org a
bilingual book with facing pages)]]
- Page breaks even make sense in text files (ASCII or even directly in Org)

Radchenko [ML:Org mode] (2022) Should page break (^L) work as paragraph element
separator and be included into Org syntax? (was: [BUG] org-fill-paragraph
doesn't handle ^L correctly [9.5.4 (release_9.5.4-19-g4dff42 @
/home/matt/Code/emacs/lisp/org/)])]]
- Page breaks are directly supported by Emacs (filling), alongside with
hard-newlines

We may as well add a new element to Org that marks page breaks.
+ Page break should be an object as page breaks do not necessarily split
paragraphs
+ People also want page breaks to precede certain elements (most importantly,
headlines)
+ This is somewhat unrelated issue though -- too complex just for a single
syntax element
+ It would be more productive to introduce generalized syntax to prepend
actual Org elements during export
+ page breaks location is very much backend-dependent; typographic detail
[[id:ML-Org-mode-<maciaschain@posteonet>2022-re-explicit-page-breaks-d8e][Manuel
Macías [ML:Org mode] (2022) Re: Explicit page breaks]]
+ sometimes, the page breaks are really backend-independent though
For example, when the document is a question/answer sheet and the
answers are to be on a different page _all the time_.

Radchenko [ML:Org mode] (2023) Re: Feature request: export form feed as page
break]]
- The markup for page breaks might be something like an entity or/and keyword
(for inter-paragraph)
- Supporting ^L has downsides and some applications either do not
display it or complain when it is copied
