Obsidian Pagebreaks
/**
Create pagebreaks in exported Obsidian PDFs.
Example:
# Heading 1
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type
## Heading 2 (pagebreak before this)
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type

@liamcain Ok thanks. Aside from that, literally none of my .print / @media print CSS seems functional anymore (Forum post)

I guess there were major changes there, hopefully there's a path forward.

The page-preview plugin still works for me. I don't think I can help debug without seeing the snippets.

The major change is that the print output now matches the DOM structure of reading mode. So as of 1.6, it should be easier to create snippets for print.

Okay. I will spend some more time looking at it. Right now I just needed the text inside codeblocks to print BLACK, so I did this 🤷‍♂️

.print code {
  color: #000000 !important;
}
