I am putting together a site that has several drawings that will be printed out by my guests. On some similar sites, the diagrams I printed were half on one page, half on another. I don't want this to happen to my guests.
Is there a standard ASCII character that will force a page break when printed, but will not affect the screen display?

The drawings are too big? Or is this some ASCII arts we are talking here?

The only option there is is the CSS page-break properties. I think they work well in modern browsers.

For instance
div.images { page-break-before: always }

The problem is a smaller diagram followed by a large one. Either of them will fit on one page, but both won't. If I can't force a page break between them, you will get page1=small dig+1/2 of LargeDig Page2=second half of LargeDig

See my post above. That's your only option if you don't want to write a print friendly version or offer a PDF file or similar for printing.
