wkthmltopdf 0.12.2.1 page-break rule issues with floating parent elements
Raw
results.md

test_breaks1.html

Command: wkhtmltopdf test_breaks1.html test_breaks1.pdf

Output: https://mack-public.s3.amazonaws.com/wkhtmltopdf/test_breaks1.pdf

As expected, three separate pages are generated, since paragraph 1 has page-break-after: always and paragraph 3 has page-break-before: always.

test_breaks2.html

Command: wkhtmltopdf test_breaks2.html test_breaks2.pdf

Output: https://mack-public.s3.amazonaws.com/wkhtmltopdf/test_breaks2.pdf

Simply adding a float: left rule to the parent element makes all page-break-* rules for elements within ignored.
