[OASIS Issue Tracker] (OFFICE-2108) Member Proposal: Add a page-break element similar to soft-page-break

Chris Rae commented on OFFICE-2108:
-----------------------------------

I had a look into this - Word does allow page breaks inside text runs - the OOXML markup you end up with looks like:

    <w:p w:rsidR="00887582" w:rsidRDefault="00887582">
      <w:r>
        <w:t>before page break</w:t>
        <w:br w:type="page"/>
        <w:t>after page break</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>

However... as far as I can see from the ODF documentation, this is also permitted in ODF. The description of text:soft-page-break says that the element "represents a soft page break within or between paragraph elements". And, indeed, if I save the above file as ODF in Word, I get:

      <text:p text:style-name="Normal">before page break</text:p>
      <text:soft-page-break/>
      <text:p text:style-name="P2">after page break</text:p>

This file opens and renders fine in Apache OpenOffice. So I think probably we need more info from the original submitter before we can do much about this.
