This example shows how to insert a page break in a PDF report by using a PageBreak object.

Import the DOM API namespace so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified names.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

Create a Document object and open it.

d = Document("mydoc","pdf");
open(d);

Create the first page consisting of a heading and some paragraphs.

h = Heading1("My First Heading");
append(d,h);
p = Paragraph("Here are some paragraphs.");
append(d,p);
for i = 1:5
append(d,clone(p));
end

Insert a page break by using a PageBreak object.

br = PageBreak();
append(d,br);

In the newly created second page, append some paragraphs.

p2 = Paragraph("Here are some paragraphs after the forced page break.");
append(d,p2);
for i = 1:5
append(d,clone(p2));
end

Close and view the document.

close(d);
rptview(d);
