Hi,

I have the following question:

I’ve adapted the code of ‘verslag van de zaakvoerder’ but when I’ve made a PDF the end of the page appears inside a paragraph.  
I have sometimes the title and first phrase on one page and the rest on the next page.

Is there a way to keep the paragraph as a block? That If the paragraph doesn’t fit entirely on a page it switches to the next page.

Thanks.  
Christelle

Hello @Finivo,

What you can do, is use the group-tags : {::group} and {/group}

everything between these tags, will always stay together.

Could this fix your problem? If not, just paste the code here and I’ll have a look at it.

Hello,

Is there a mistake in the tags you gave me ? When I put them around a block of text, they appear as is when previewing or generating a report.

I tried with {:group} and {:group} but then the block that was splitted by the page break simply disappears in the generated report. I also tried a trick with html tags but then some parts of the block are missing when generating, weird…

Thank you for your help.

Hello @Finivo,

It is possible that there was a “ **:** ” missing in the previous post.

Could you please try with:

{::group}  
{:/group}

Kind regards,

Mathias

Forcing a page break can apparently be achieved by the tag `{% newpage %}`

While the `{::group} ... {:/group}` tags ensure that the text between them will be on a single page,  
it does _not_ insert a new page.  
For example:

```
{::group}
{{ foo }}
{:/group}

{::group}
{{ bar }}
{:/group}

```

will _not_ insert a page break between `foo` and `bar` when the text `foo` and `bar` can fit on a single page together;  
The following _will_ insert a page break between `foo` and `bar`

```
{::group}
{{ foo }}
{:/group}
{% newpage %}
{::group}
{{ bar }}
{:/group}
```
