Printing multi-page html documents

[Milagro]

Hi,
I have one long page (10-15 printed pages) HTML page. I'd like to be
able to control where
page breaks are (where the printer decides to start a new page) when a
user prints the page.

The data that is being printed out is all text with no graphics.
Is there some simple HTML tag/command that I can put into the page so
it will tell whatever printer it's using "Hey, start a new page!". ?

If not HTML, how about in CSS, can I do it that way?

Thanks very much,

Mike

As a clarification of that:

{page-break-before: always} is actually pretty well supported - IE6,
Firefox, Opera, and I think also Safari.

However, given the quite correct warning on that page that other peoples
font size - and indeed their paper size - may well be different,
{page-break-inside: avoid} is often more useful, when used with
appropriate bracketing elements. Sadly I believe Opera is about the only
browser that supports it.
