How do you add a page break in a PDF with XSL-FO?

Question

How do you add a page break into a document with XSL-FO? I'm using Apache FOP to create PDFs, if that makes a difference.

You can also do:

<fo:block page-break-before="always">
  ...things you want in a new page...
</fo:block>

don't forget to insert a `/` when leaving the fo:block empty – Remigius Stalder Sep 08 '15 at 11:40

The FOP compliance page says that it supports page-break-after, page-break-before, and page-break-inside in the later versions, plus partial support for keep-together, keep-with-next, keep-with-previous.

Thanks, the following worked for adding a page break after a table:

<fo:table break-after="page">

This worked for me. But this is Elite Design Gallery syntax.

<w:p ><w:r><w:br w:type="page"/></w:r></w:p>
