Hi.
I probably spent too much time at my computer and have my brain mashed-up but…
Does anyone have an idea as to why manual page breaks within a document would refuse to compile ?
If I do File / Print preview it’s all fine, but at compile they are just ignored.
Thanks.
I thought I was asking a stupid question to which would come an easy/obvious answer…
Anyone ?
Not expecting dumb questions with easy answers from you. 
How did you insert “manual” page breaks?
Why don’t you just split the scene in two parts?
Hi Antoni 
First, note that I just realized that the page breaks are only being ignored when enclosed at the begining of a paragraph to which a style is assigned. For any “no style” paragraph, the page break behaves fine.
→ I call them “manual page breaks” because they are not compile-format related.
PRINT PREVIEW :
COMPILED :
(Page break was ignored)
That is what I ended up doing…
But, I wanted to do it without splitting my original document, because :
1- I only wanted the splits (about 5 or 6) to be temporary (I actually resorted to splitting a duplicate of my original document for convenience) for a printout to which I wanted specific segments of a chapter isolated on their own page(s) to be able to physically reshuffle the order of those segments.
2- Using styles, I have my paragraphs numbered (you can see it in my “compiled” screenshot above → {1} {2} {3}… ). My compile format inserts a number <$n> reset at the start of each documents, so all my documents start with “paragraph 1”. → In this case I wanted my paragraphs to stay properly numbered without having to modify my compile format (which I ended up doing - had to remove that <$rst_n>).
3- When splitting a document, the snapshots stay with the top section of the document, and in this case, knowing that this was intended as a printout for further editing, I wanted to avoid having my document partitioned, with a section of it somewhere, and the corresponding past snapshots elsewhere.
This is something I am likely to do again in the future, so, it’d be good to know what is going on…
A setting somewhere ?
What could prevent the page breaks from compiling ?
(Since it seems to work fine when the paragraph has no style assigned to it - what I just found out -, I will make that my solution for the moment ; inserting any required page break as a “no style” paragraph of its own.)
Yes, looking this up there are some known issues with how page breaks interact with paragraphs, particularly if they are attached to the beginning of a paragraph rather than on their own empty line. This interaction with styles doesn’t seem to be documented though, so I’ll add these notes.
I also spotted some issues with separator interactions, too. Thanks for the report!
