Is page break implemented correctly?

[jacwright]

@dolanmiu you are correct that <w:br w:type="page"/> is the right way to create a paragraph break. However, docx currently puts that inside <w:pPr> which breaks it.

What it looks like now:

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

What it should look like:

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

Update: at least, this is the difference between my docx generated file where the page break is unrecognized, and Word-created docx file where the page break is recognized. I can't seem to find anything else, and when I removed the <w:pPr> from my docx generated file by hand, the page break shows up in Word Online and Pages where I have been testing. This isn't the most scientific approach, apologies, but hopefully it helps.

I followed this documentation when implementing it

you can see that it has <w:br> with various options for type, including page

I'm using waybackmachine cos the original website is down (hence im porting it) 😂

I have ported the page over:

I think you was thinking of the below. Paragraph and Run both have breaks! but they do different things.

This has been fixed in #41. We should be able to close this issue.
