Take the following MWE
% My Book
% J. Doe
Content
\newpage
Content that should be on a new page
When I run
$ pandoc book.txt -o book.epub
I don't get the second content in a separate page. How can I do this with the EPUB format?

\newpage is a LaTeX command and only works when generating a PDF with LaTeX.
For ePUB, you either need to start a new chapter (using a # level 1 header), or you could try to insert the following:
<div style="page-break-before:always;"></div>
Note that there is an open issue on the pandoc issue tracker about supporting page-breaks across output formats.

I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Can you insert it into the example above? – osolmaz Sep 21 '17 at 10:20

it probably depends on which epub reader you use... try googling "epub page break" – mb21 Sep 21 '17 at 11:15

How is that `` added to the document? – Frotz Mar 11 '23 at 04:59

@Frotz just write it as part of the markdown... pandoc supports raw html... – mb21 Mar 12 '23 at 09:29

@mb21 The source is LaTeX, not markdown. – Frotz Mar 13 '23 at 11:55
